SUPPORT NIDO DE LENGUAS ON GIVING DAY

This year, WLMA will be participating in UCSC’s Giving Day to raise money for Nido de Lenguas.

Nido de Lenguas is a partnership between UCSC linguists and Senderos that organizes a series of summer camps, classes, events, and performances, where anyone can learn about the indigenous languages of Oaxaca.

To donate, visit the Nido Giving Day page on Wednesday, February 28. There you can also watch a short video and get more information about the campaign.

From the Nido Giving Day page:

We are asking for your support to develop materials for Oaxacan languages from the Mixtec and Mixe language families to complement our existing efforts for Zapotec languages.

Your gift will pay for:
1. Our undergraduate researchers who are digitally documenting these languages
2. The time of local Oaxacans immigrants who are teaching us about their languages

Using these resources, Nido de Lenguas will build new language-learning games and classroom materials for Oaxacan indigenous languages.
