Today radio Belarus broadcasts in nine languages: Belarusian, Russian, English, German, Polish, French, Spanish, Chinese and Arabic.
In addition, international radio continues the action Homeland Calls With Tenderness!. Tatiana Samusenko from Argentina, whose ancestors come from Belarus, has submitted her message. Now she lives in the regional capital of immigrants in Berisso, where not only Belarusians live, but also Greeks, Spaniards, Ukrainians, Bulgarians, Italians, Arabs and others. They have formed their own teams and organizations where they dance, cook national dishes, preserve the language, traditions, crafts of different countries, where they come from.
"Since the age of 3 I have been dancing in the team Chaika of the Belarusian club Vostok de Berisso. My family has been actively involved in the activities of this organization. My mother brought me and my brothers to this club when we were children so that we could become a part of this beautiful activity and represent the roots of our ancestors. Together we are engaged in a variety of activities, not only dances, we cook traditional dishes: dumplings, cabbage, cabbage rolls... In 2014 I had the opportunity to get to know the land of my ancestors closer: I participated in the event that gathered Belarusians from all over the world in the city of Minsk, and this year I was able to return to Minsk on vacation. It was wonderful, because I have long dreamed of traveling around Belarus," Tatiana writes and sends her greetings to all listeners of the radio Belarus.
