National Education Curriculum Update

Wonderful news on the curriculum front: the Education and Culture Ministry has declared that Balinese could indeed be taught as a separate subject if the Governor issues a decree that regulates how Balinese will be taught. Governor Pastika has indicated a clear intention to issue the appropriate decree. We look forward to supplying whatever schools are interested with our software (free of charge) in either the Balinese-English version (available now) or the Balinese-Indonesian version (estimated release is next summer). If you know of schools or organizations

Endangered Alphabets Carvings

Tim Brookes of Endangered Language Alphabets has generously offered to make custom Balinese script carvings to encourage people to donate to our Kickstarter campaign, through which we are trying to raise funds for the creation of the Balinese-Indonesian version of the materials. Our campaign is at Kickstarter campaign (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1762259619/save-balinese) and you can see samples of Tim's work at ww.endangeredalphabets.com. DVDs are available and ready to ship With many thanks to Jonathan Olier, Ayu Mandala and Agus Pranayoga, many of our DVDs have been already mailed to those who ordered them. If you happen to be around Ubud on April 21st, we’ll be participating in an Earth Day celebration at the Jiwa Damai Permaculture and Retreat Center, south of Mambal Market and will have DVDs available then (or you can order them online through our site, www.basabali.org). As always, they free for nonprofit organizations and available at a modest fee for individuals Better yet, be green and, internet permitting, use the online version!
