Helping endangered indigenous cultures in Bangladesh

Check out https://www.facebook.com/Endangered-Alphabets-166589506713085/ to
see the latest piece in our work to help indigenous children in the
Chittagong Hill Tracts of Bangladesh. My collaborator, Maung Nyeu, displays
the carvings I recently completed--the numbers 9 and 10 in Mro, Marma,
Chakma and Bangla. These will go on the doors of the Grade 9 and 10
classrooms in a school where minority children can learn in their own
languages. The significance of this handover (which took place in the
library of the Harvard Graduate School of Education, where Maung is working
on his PhD) is that the schools Maung helped to create have now grown to
the point where children are staying on into the ninth and tenth grades--an
extraordinary fact in an area where only about 2% of children complete
their education in conventional schools where instruction takes place only
in the national language, Bangla. This collaboration is helping to change
the lives of hundreds of children, and potentially saving the indigenous
cultures of the region. See www.endangeredalphabets.com and
ourgoldenhour.org for more information.
