SPANISH RADIO FUNDRAISER (In Spanish and English).
50 años dando voz a nuestra comunidad… y hoy necesitamos tu ayuda. Durante medio siglo, el programa de radio española en 5EBI ha sido mucho más que un espacio en el aire.

Ha sido compañía para quienes estaban lejos de su país, información para quienes empezaban una nueva vida, cultura para nuestras nuevas generaciones y un punto de encuentro para sentirnos cerca, aunque estemos lejos.

Hoy esa voz está en peligro.

El aumento de las tasas de la estación de radio ha creado una situación financiera difícil que amenaza la continuidad del programa.
Somos una asociación sin ánimo de lucro, sostenida únicamente por la pasión y el compromiso de voluntarios que creen profundamente en el valor de este servicio comunitario.

No hay sueldos. No hay beneficios. Solo el deseo de mantener viva una conexión que ha acompañado a miles de personas durante 50 años.

Necesitamos reunir $1000 para poder seguir adelante. Puede parecer una cantidad pequeña, pero sin el apoyo de la comunidad, puede ser insuperable.

Tu ayuda —por pequeña que sea— es un acto de amor hacia nuestra cultura, nuestra historia compartida y nuestro futuro como comunidad.
Si este programa alguna vez te hizo sentir en casa, te informó, te emocionó o te conectó…

Hoy es el momento de devolverle ese apoyo. No dejemos que 50 años de historia se apaguen.

Gracias por escuchar, por sentir y por sostener esta voz comunitaria.

_______

For 50 years, Radio Española 5EBI has been more than a radio programme — it has been a lifeline for Spanish speakers in South Australia. It has offered companionship to people far from home, practical information to newcomers, and a cultural bridge for younger generations. Today, that voice is at risk.

Rising station fees have created a serious financial challenge, and we now need to raise $1,000 to keep the programme going. As a not-for-profit, volunteer-run association, every broadcast is powered by people who give their time, energy, and care because they believe this service matters. There are no salaries and no profit — only a shared commitment to preserving a valued community voice.

Your donation will help sustain a programme that has supported the Spanish-speaking community in Adelaide for decades through music, interviews, community news, cultural programming, and connection. It also helps ensure that this legacy can continue for the next generation.

If this programme has ever made you feel at home, informed, entertained, or connected, please give today. Thank you for helping to protect this important part of our community’s story.

Part of our last Family Games Day held on Saturday, 18th April, 2026 was to remember and tribute our Life Member Ana Marque. Ana sadly passed away recently. She will be sadly missed. We held a dedication to her, which was attended by her family. It was very moving. Ana's daughter, Ana donated a book of songs 🎵, that were sung by the Spanish Choir back in the day. They actually sang at my children's kindergarten and Holy Family Catholic School at a fete. There was a song, dedicated to Ana in the book. 4 of the original choir members, sang the song. Mari Galan, Ana Herrero, Juliana Moran and Elena Carmena. Very moving. I forgot to mention the choir master, Jose Garcia.
