    About this project

    M. Momoda from ? is responsible for this project
    Laos lacks the resources to write and publish books. Without locally produced books a country has no voice. Disenfranchised people have even less. We need your help to publish one of the first Lao sign language texts.

    I am an independent book publisher in Laos. Momobooks books focus on language learning. 10,000 books have sold since September 2008 and this a testimony of the desire for useful books in Laos.

    For elementary level English texts, I have a plan to incorporate Lao sign language into the teaching. Teachers forget to communicate with their hands, their bodies, their faces and their heart.

    When collecting signs, I learned that there are very few texts for Lao sign language. In fact, schools for the deaf are very new in Laos. Before these schools (3) were built, deaf people were isolated in their villages without any language to communicate with.

    I am self-financing the research, writing and layout, but I need help for printing and distribution. Without help, this book will not reach the people who need them. In essence, not just the deaf, but everyone needs a book like this. The more we communicate and the more we share our worlds, the more hope there is for better futures.
