Project 8520

This project is for building a training centre for translation and literacy in Ubuo village, Gulf Province, PNG.

This building will have a large classroom for up to 50 desks, office spaces for the local literacy coordinator and for the local translation team, a storeroom, and a large open-sided meeting area for meals and other gatherings.

Since 2015, Hanna Schulz (WBTA) has been living in Ubuo and working alongside the Kope people. Having office and classroom space will allow this work to expand, with the minimum goal being to host annual literacy workshops and Scripture Use workshops, as well as providing a dedicated space for the local translation and literacy teams to work. The hope is that an Oral Bible Storytelling (OBS) project for several languages in the region can be developed, and this building would provide a space in which that could occur.
