[RNLD] Language workshop in Honiara, Solomon Islands

[Giordana]

Thank you Debra for this post, 

It is lovely to see some more work done in the Solo since I started in 2008. I am now out of the linguistics circle, but hope to go back to it one day.

I am flying to Honiara on the 1st of October to deliver the first illustrated book for children in Lau (Malaita). Very exciting as this was a community project from start to end.

Best,

Giordana

It was attended by nearly 100 people representing more than half of the country’s 70+ languages.
