"What We Plant" by Linda Voit (First KHOI Broadcast)

Linda Voit lived in Ames from Dec. 2002 to early 2012. She was one of the founding members of the team for 11 Days of Global Unity in Ames, and enjoyed working with local contributors of 11 Days articles each year. Work has taken her back to her native state of Wisconsin, but she treasures the time she had in Ames, particularly the time she spent with Third Stanza poetry group (including their 11 Days readings) and with the 11 Days Team, and she is honored to be able to contribute to the collection of articles for 2012.

KHOI to Broadcast Programs for 11 Days of Global Unity 2012

September 10, 2012 - 10:24am -- Anonymous (not verified)

In celebration of 11 Days of Global Unity, a time during which all are enjoined to work for worldwide peace, KHOI 89.1 FM will be broadcasting a series of 11 programs. Starting Sept. 11, KHOI will air the programs at 8 a.m., 1 p.m and 8 p.m on each of the 11 days. The programs will call listeners to serve, respect and learn from others. All programs will be produced by the central Iowa chapter of 11 Days of Global Unity. 

Though the event has been celebrated since 2004, Heather Withers, an Ames resident and ordained minister of the Unity Church, first committed herself to it in 2008, when she learned about it through her ministry.

Though more than a decade has passed since planes struck the two towers of the World Trade Center, Withers still recalls the global fear those strikes evoked.
