This added on Journal will be by Akha writers, and the Akha edition will be posted as well, so that people can collect stories in Akha, who are language students or whatever. The Akha writers are very excited about this next step and we anticipate having a very large body of weekly donated Akha literary text each week. In reality we could announce this project and we would be inundated with donated Akha writing, so we are trying to get it running smoothly first. As via another announcement, the video "The Akha Way" is now finished and will be showing in Chicago on the 18th of this month at the Field Museum of Natural History, for which we would like to thank Luisa Maffi, Sharon Hainsfurther, Michael Ford, Mary and all the other people at Yellowcat Productions who made this possible, plus all the Akha who make up the story. I will keep you informed of where else it is showing and when copies are going to be available for viewing. It is 30 minutes long and I don't know how we do that via the web yet. It will just be a first of numbers of videos that we make in an effort to bring as accurately as possible to the public, the story of the Akha people and the problems they face and what they have to offer many people of the world in their view of the world and the human place in it.
