Hello Lima: Recent Episodes
1150 WIMA (WIMA-AM)
Hello Lima was created to spotlight stories and issues that are affecting the citizens of Lima and the Greater Lima Region. We feel it is important for Hello Lima to not only provide a platform for local voices to be heard, but to do it with a positive dialogue that produces conclusive outcomes. When we respect each other’s values and different opinions then we grow and strengthen as a community. Many times this starts with nothing more than a simple conversation. This conversation can happen anywhere from the kitchen table to the local coffee shop, and now on Hello Lima. When you feel connected to your neighborhood, when you engage with those around you in both formal and informal ways, from joining a neighborhood association to offering a simple “Hello” to your neighbors, over time you will start to notice a chance – a community coming together.
