Excellent feedback about the Yankunytjatjara translations from families in South Australia
Great to have a call this morning telling us about the families in Amata, South Australia, enjoying the Yankunytjatjara books, which were translated by Maria Stewart from Umuwa. Once they get a CD player to listen to Marjorie Williams readi…ng the books, we are sure their enjoyment will increase 100 fold!
Quote from: http://www.waru.org/communities/amata/
“Amata is located in the far north west of South Australia, approximately 250kilometres west of the Stuart Highway, and approximately 40km south of the Northern Territory and South Australian border. Nestled at the base of the Musgrave Ranges, the community is made up of approximately 300 Anangu Maru (aboriginal people) who speak Pitjantjatjara as their first language and English as a second language.”

We’ve also had a fabulous call from South Australia to say how much the Mimili community (http://www.waru.org/communities/mimili/) is enjoying the Yankunytjatjara Honey Ant Readers! Wonderful to get the feedback that keeps us energized to work on developing more language books for communities. They deserve them! Thank you to Rosie for delivering them on our behalf.
