Megdonia Payano - Jaqaru

[MJ Hardman]

Over the last weekend we lost our comadre Megdonia.  It is a personal loss,
but it is also a loss for the Jaqaru language.  Among other things, she also
was trying to get the Ministry to establish Jaqaru in the school.  Her loss
leaves a profound hole in the circle of elders of Jaqaru, who are no longer
numerous.

We have written brief appreciations of her life in three languages that can
be read at txupi.org or http://txupi.wordpress.com/ [both go to the same
place].  It's a blog style page.
