A WORD FROM OUR SPONSORS…
We are thankful for an old friend and erstwhile coworker reminding me of the “old-fashioned” Palawan way to get word to my translation helpers… the “panawagan” (radio public service announcement.)
The local Palawan radio stations will give an announcement over the air (for free, no less!) so that someone in areas with no telephone can know they need to come to town. These are often used to notify people of a death in the family, etc., but the stations are willing to make other kinds of announcements.
So Giyang should hear over the air that he’s supposed to get to town to read a letter from me (which will tell him all about the workshop.) And if he doesn’t hear it personally, anyone within an hour or two’s hike who was listening to the radio will tell him about the announcement.
So we pray this will work and things will work out for some guys to come to Manila and help us with the translation workshop.
