As many of you may now know, one of the latest resources for the Penan of Borneo, is the new Children's Book in language- <b>'Apo Uleu' ('Our Sago'). </b></div><div><br></div><div>It is the story of 5 Penan children, who are taken on a journey into the jungle by their grandparents, as they learn how to collect and make sago, a traditional food of the Penan. This is a contemporary story, that in it's own right is the depiction of knowledge exchange, and excitingly will be one of the first resources in Penan language. </div><div><br></div><div>Right now we are Crowd Funding, in a direct attempt to cover the costs of printing and distributing the books to every Penan child. You can help by making a donation here: <a href="http://pozi.be/penan">http://pozi.be/penan</a></div><div><br></div><div>However, today I wanted to extend an additional offer to the RNLD community. </div><div><br></div><div>First and foremost the book is for the Penan community as a process of preservation and engaging the next generation with language. However, there will also be a smaller print run of Penan and English text, which can be accessed by individuals, communities or organisations working in the field. This can be used as an example within your own community, but also to be able to create the exchange of other communities facing the loss of their own language and culture to have the insight into the stories of others. </div><div><br></div><div><b>SPECIAL OFFER:</b> For all RNLD community, you can pre-purchase a copy of 'Apo Uleu' ('Our Sago') in Penan/ English. By purchasing the book, you will not only receive the copy for yourself, but you will also be playing a role in helping to get these books to the Penan children. </div><div><br></div><div>To purchase your copy, go to the Crowd Funding site (<a href="http://pozi.be/penan">http://pozi.be/penan</a>) and make a pledge for <b>$60</b> (plus postage). </div><div><br></div><div>The book is available to purchase only until the <b>11th May, 2014. </b>(Available until the Crowd Funding Campaign finishes. NB: If we don't hit the full amount, we receive nothing and the books will not be able to be printed.)</div><div><br></div><div><img src="cid:DD70FB32-7273-4219-A17C-77FF7F2FB020" type="image/png"></div><div><i>Exert from 'Apo Uleu' ('Our Sago'). </i></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>So please purchase your copy of 'Apo Uleu' today, and support this project that is one step in preserving language and culture for the next generation of the Penan. </div><div><br></div><div>(NB: If there are other indigenous communities, or people working in the field who want to purchase the book and support the project, please share this with them.
