Published by SteveStanley on

A short video update from the Stanleys showing some clips of life in Kovol and talking about the challenges of life in the bush.

Since the kids caught us shooting the video we decided to show it off to them when it was done:

I enjoyed listening to this and hearing your voices. Can you tell me who are the consultants who are coming in?

Always great to hear your updates! I love hearing about you and your ministry and where your heart is. Will continue to pray for wisdom and that you also get opportunities to rest and regroup! <3

Illustrating short stories

For one of our post-literacy readers, I thought it would be fun to write a short story about a time Gerdine and I went to a Kovol garden with our friend. Readers need illustrations to go with them, so I've been working on illustrating my own story :)

September video update

Just before we head out of Kovol for our annual conference we took the time to shoot a quick update video. If you've been reading the blog it's nothing new, but it's always nice to see our faces right? We also don't assume and expect that everyone keeps up :)

Implicit and explicit information in translation

As I step into translating into the Kovol language I certainly feel overwhelmed! Translation isn't a task where there is a simple right answer and wrong answer, it's a complex spectrum of choices. It's possible to be too free and end up paraphrasing on the one hand and being too wooden on the other. It's possible to have correct sentences that all work, but don't fit together as a paragraph. There are choices to be made on how much "glue" to add to help the sentences hang together. There are choices to be made in how to translate new vocabulary and concepts. There's the fact that one helper prefers to use this word and say it this way, and another prefers to say it that way. Are the different opinions simple stylistic variations? Does one flow better? Which term really fits the original meaning best?
