Me parece muy bien cuidar de que un habla en peligro de desaparecer, se vea amparada y reforzada por las nuevas tecnologías a nuestro alcance.
The proyect is very interesting!! Good luck!
Go ahead!!!
This is a great idea. This culture is discriminated and isolated in society and can not access new technologies on their own. However, important cultural values that should know better. Interesting idea, congratulations!!
