Empezando a Vivir (Beginning to Live)

Each show features two episodes of a soap opera called " Empezando a Vivir" meaning "Beginning to Live." The show's main themes are sexual and reproductive health and rights (particularly family planning and the prevention of STIs and HIV/AIDS); sexual abuse and violence; and the importance of inter-generational communication. This production follows last season's 90 minute radio show called "Loma Luna."

PCI-Media Impact was in Peru in November 2005, and together with our partner Calandria, trained 20 radio stations from Peru , Ecuador , Chile , and Colombia in an effort to encourage them to rebroadcast this radio drama and teach them about the power of entertainment education as community development tool. As a result, we were on the air with an estimated additional 20 new stations throughout Peru and the Andean Highlands region of South America beginning of December/January 2006.
