Project
Indigenous storybook
Remember who we are
recording the past is for making a new step
Why do we make this project?
​
Nowadays people here start to lose their true self-identity: they don’t longer remember their stories, their traditions, and their languages any more. Most of the people in the villages have no resource for education, but devoting their lives for struggling for hard life. Without common record, culture now is almost a mere formality for touristic and commercial usage. Therefore, we consider it a great mission to record the stories down and make storybook for children here.
What do we do:
We will visit different villages, live with them to understand their real situation and record down different stories from people there in spanish and their dialects.
Sustainable project:
We will publish every book we make in both delicate one and simple one.
Delicate one: delicate one is for selling in market for funding to do the simple one for children in the village for free.
Simple one: indigenous children here have rare educational resource, and live in a hard condition which forces them to work all day and night in the street since their childhood. And their family can barely offer them any education and resource to improve their lives in the future. Therefore we’d like to publish every book in an interactive educational simple one that we can not only offer to kids in need, but also do free workshop in the street to educate kids and cultivate their habit of reading through some simple entertainment such as painting.
Future steps:
​
In the future, we would like to make the book into different languages and do the workshops to present our culture to the world.
Meanwhile, we would like to build some libraries and education centers in different villages, and offer some classes of different useful skills to people in need.
Education:
​
We would like to help the basic education here, through the storybook to teach children their culture, languages, manners, how to read, how to write, and the most important one, we will teach them how to be a good person with respectful self-identity.
