Dear MLE friends, UNESCO Bangkok has recently published a report on the latest Asia-Pacific EFA coordinators' meeting that took place in October 2005. The book is available online at http://www2.unescobkk.org/elib/publications/081/index.htm Section 1.5 of the book is on language issues .
Dear Interest group, Below is a relevant and interesting e-mail discussion in which some of you participated. Good to read that language is getting quite some attention in this discussion. Happy reading/participating!
Dear MLE interest group, Several of you have shown interest in the below mentioned opportunity. I just learned that an NGO has produced the shell-book in the Vasavi language. The Vasavi-Kholchi tribe lives right in the centre of the place in Maharashtra where the disease broke out. 5000 copies were printed and are now under distribution. Is anybody aware of other initiatives? The website reference in the below message was not so detailed. The following link is more direct: http://www.sil.org/literacy/materials/health/avian_flu/index.htm
Dear friends, Avian Flu is not yet in India , but expected to come. You might be interested to know that there is a Shell-book on the topic available. “ShellBook” means: you can change the text and/or pictures to the local language and situation. The web-site is: http://www.sil.org/literacy/materials/health/avian_flu/index.htm .
