The 10 July Quiz Sound Kitchen winners

Are you one of this week’s lucky winners? Today you’ll hear who won the quiz about the Gaza-bound ship which was not allowed to leave Greece. Click on that little “Listen” arrow above, and join in!

Hello everyone!

You’ve surely noticed by now we’ve been experimenting with the Sound Kitchen recipes … on Saturdays, at 5:16 universal time, tune in to hear if you are amongst the week’s winners. The winners names are here on our website, too. Look for Short Features /Sound Kitchen Winners.

Tune in on Sundays, at 4:22, 5:52 and 7:22 universal time, for the quiz question ... and whatever else is cooking up in the Sound Kitchen.

Today’s quiz question was read on 10 July. Earlier that week, a ship, bound for Gaza, was prohibited from leaving a port near Piraeus in Greece. The ship was stopped, the captain - American John Klusmire - was arrested, and charged with setting sail without permission, and endangering passengers (the charges were later dropped).

I asked you to send in the name of the boat … and I admit it was a bit tricky, because around that same time another boat – the Tahrir - was prohibited from leaving Crete … but I asked you about the boat from Piraeus, whose captain was arrested … and that boat’s name is: “The Audacity of Hope”.

The winners this week are: Mr. Richard Chen, from Trincity, Trinidad and Tobago; Mr. Sau Fu Kiat, from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia; Mr. S.J. Agboola, from Ekiti State, Nigeria; Mr. Ronald Serwanja, from Kampala, Uganda; and last but not least, Mrs. Kajari Chattopadhyay, from Murshidabad, India.

Congratulations winners!

I am still looking for your “This I Believe” essays, too. Tell us about the principles that guide your life … what you have found to be true from your very own personal experience. Or write in with your most memorable moment, and/or your proudest achievement.

Include a phone number, if you can. I’d like to call you and put you on-the-air … and send you a thank-you gift for participating.

I look forward to hearing from you soon!

All the best,

Susan
