The American Women's Club Luxembourg is back again this year collecting money for their 'Gifts for Kids' campaign. The clubs wants to ensure that all children get to experience the joy of receiving a gift on Saint Nicholas Day, the 6th December. This is a tradition that the AWCL has proudly organise annually since 1996. Last year over 1,400 gifts were given out to children. So far this year they have raised enough money for 1,000 kids to get a present, but their aim is to get to 1,500 children. The gifts are worth up to the value of 25 euros, and are bought with the AWCL's partner, supermarket chain, Cactus. The AWCL are asking for donations which can be given on their website www.awclux.com. All donations go towards the gifts for the children.

Becoming a radio host was a childhood dream of Elmira, and today, that dream comes true! Navaye Dell is a new show in Persian that starts on ARA City Radio today with Elmira as the host. Navaye Dell means "the melody of my heart" and this is the focus of the show, talking about music that represents important parts of someone's life. Elmira wants to bring together people from all over Iran, not by talking about politics or religion, but by sharing the music of their lives. Each episode she will have a new guest where they guide her through their life with 5 songs and stories to accompany them. Some episodes are full of fun and laughter, some take a more emotional turn, but both are important to Elmira to bring together the Luxembourgish Iranian population and community. Elmira says "it's not the politics that make us humans" and that is why the show will not talk about politics or religion. You can hear the episodes every other week on a Wednesday from 1-2pm on ARA City Radio, or find the playlist of music uploaded on Spotify.

Today we're talking about Marie-Adélaïde, probably the most unlucky Grand Duchess of Luxembourg. She was the first, in fact, Grand female Duchess, and the first Luxembourgish ruler (from the Nassau dynasty at least) to be born here, too. Dad passed away too soon without having done a proper handover to the little girl, and then there was just oo much noise coming from everywhere. No wonder she got mixed up:/
