New Delhi: Actor Tom Alter is all set to host a radio show about issues related to the visually challenged.
Titled "Eyeway Yeh Hai Roshni Ka Karawan", the show will be aired every Wednesday at 9:30 p.m. on FM Rainbow. It is being produced by the NGO Score Foundation.
"Tom Alter will anchor 14 episodes of the show. Each 15-minute will include interviews and profiles of visually impaired achievers along with features on important aspects of life such as education, legal rights, parenting and lot more for visually challenged people," said George Abraham, CEO, Score Foundation.
The show will be aired in nine cities - Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Jallandhar, Kanpur, Lucknow, Cuttack, Bangalore and Hyderabad. "It will also be uploaded on the website and can be heard on www.eyeway.org," said Abraham.
