WHYS in Immokalee, Florida

As mentioned by Ros a wee while back on our trips page, we’re working with our partner station out in south-west Florida, WGCU.

This time next week, Ros, Alicia and I will be on our way to Immokalee.  It’s a small town not far from Fort Myers (where WHYS broadcast from the soup kitchen last year, see picture below).

Tom’s Diary…

In January, we took WHYS to the CCMI soup kitchen in Fort Myers, Florida.

The place was recommended to us by colleagues at our partner station WGCU  and we went there a few days after President Obama’s inauguration.

The man you see to your right is Tom, a man who i’m very glad i persuaded to come and talk to us on air.

He was the star of the show because of his Irish- American humour, warmth and ….yes, i know it’s an over-used word, his dignity.
