Hi I'm Ben,

I've been working with Pacific Partners since July 2008. I started as an Intern at Life Fm Radio station then started getting involved with Pacific Partners in July.  I was an intern because in November i was going to the Marshall Islands to help train a few people from one of the churches in radio.  I was training them in how to put shows and playlists together and various other operations.
When i got back in February 2009,  Graham offered me a Job working for the Pacific Partners ministry.  
I'm now the Studio Operator here in New Zealand.  My job includes:
  • Downloading, editing and sending programs to the Stations in Tonga, Solomon Islands and PNG.
  • Recording guests and editing their programs or scripture reading, and then uploading it into the Stream
  • Uploading new music, programs, ID's, etc, into the Stream, and managing it
  • Work on the Pacific Partners Web Site
  • Give technical help to the staff in the stations in the islands (either via Email or going to the islands and giving them extra training and help)

I'm now back in my home country of England.  Seen some old friends and been to my old church.  Was great seeing people i haven't seen for a while!  It's very very cold here...missing the New Zealand summer.  Going to UCB Europe tomorrow to do some training with networks. Then heading down south for my Cousins wedding and my Grand Parents 50th Anniversarys.  Should be good times!

I'm now back from Tonga and had a great time with the staff in giving them training and encouragement. The Staff at the station have a real heart for this ministry and it's great to see them putting all their effort into it.  Willy (the station manager) is now here in New Zealand and will be receiving more training and guidance.

Today i shall be copying music from the main computer here in the office to the new laptop which shall be used as a playout for the radio.  We will also transfer the laptop to the studio so we can start using it straight away.  However the problem here in Tonga is that the humidity kills computers.  We are going to try and a metal case for the laptop with holes for the wires and a fan on the case to keep it dry.  If you have any other ideas to keep it dry please e-mail me at studio@ucbpacific.org :)
