I had the pleasure last week of delivering a computer we received as a donation from Jim Leff, of New York, to Huber Castro, of Tierradentro. Huber started collaborating with us in February, working on a story about a dream (watch trailer here). He needed a laptop to word process with, and with this gift he got it. Thanks Jim.
Now he'll be able to write at home and seize sudden inspiration, he told me, instead of having to walk two hours to a school that lets him use a computer sometimes. Huber is a linguist and an expert in traditional Nasa culture. He recently helped author a bilingual volume about Nasa mathematics published by the prestigious Instituto Caro y Cuervo. He is exploring new media with Cineminga looking for ways to energize the language, and we have a few projects in mind. We're starting by translating cineminga.org into Nasa Yuwe. Coming soon... in Tierradentro time ; )
