- The seven Nabit folk stories, printed and professionally bound. There is a huge appetite to get these into the schools, particularly the primary grades. The final drafts that go for professional printing will have Nabit words as the result of Robyn Giffen’s work with the Nabit Language committee. The printer quoted a price of one cedi each for a print run of 500 books. the Cedi is worth less than 40 cents Canadian so a pretty good price.

- Justifiably proud of their work, these kids were excited to find their drawings and narration in a storybook.

- These are the drummers who were at the school to entertain us. They started reading the books and very pleased to see stories from their childhood in book form. They were also delighted with the photos which were the surrounding countryside of the Nabit people, and with the drawings of the junior high school students. One drummer called over some of the primary kids who were on their lunch break and read one of the books to them. It was a magical moment for all of us involved in the project.

- The school and our hosts arranged a wonderful afternoon of drumming and dancing for the UBC students…
