Hi (Sabaidii) all,
My apology for not having updating you all on the project for a long while.
As you may be aware the translations require further editing, and this was happening the last 2 months, worked on by Aaron Percy and Bounthanh himself. They are on the verge of completing the task and also organising book printing. I'm looking forward to see
them, those hard copies!
We have drafted an 'acknowledgement' for the book. A copy is attached for you info.
We are going to print 1250 copies, 250 more than originally planned, with following combination of distributions:
- Bilingual version (500 copies)
. 250 for free distribution to schools and libraries in Laos, to promote self-help English learning
. 250 for Land Issue Working Group (LIWG, our major donor) for their own specific distribution
- English only version (750 copies)
. 250 for free distribution to schools and libraries in Laos
. 250 for Land Issue Working Group (LIWG, our major donor) for their own specific distribution
. 250 for sales for fund future book project.
For complete list of donors see ..
