ECHO's 2011 Annual DVD is Now Available Free of Charge!

ECHO is now taking requests for our Season 7 - 2011 Annual DVD in 8 languages! As with past years, the DVDs contain new ECHO programming that has been created in the past 12 months. We are especially excited about this year for two reasons:

  1.  We have included full-length programs AND public service announcements (PSAs) on the annual disc.

  2. We have added the Karen language. We produced two shows and three PSAs in Karen, it is an important addition to our annual DVDs!

As with all ECHO resources, the information covered in these shows is carefully crafted with input from highly-skilled subject matter experts, and is presented on camera by our team of passionate, seasoned ethnic spokespersons, and respected bi-lingual guest-experts. We know first-hand how rewarding work in nonprofits and government organizations can be — and we also know how difficult it is to find reliable, trustworthy information in languages other than English to share with limited English speakers.  That is the reason that ECHO exists — to ensure that limited English proficiency (LEP) populations have access to life-saving information.

Together, we can ensure that everyone has access to the information they need to be healthy, safe, and ready. To order your DVDs and learn what topics are included click here.
