East African Translation Project

These publications were made possible in part by the people of Minnesota through a grant funded by an appropriation to the Minnesota Historical Society from the Minnesota Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.

Dr. Abdisalam Adam, Principal of the East African Magnet, St Paul Public Schools initiated this project after a conversation with Dan McGuire, Executive Director of SABIER

Zamzam Ahmed, Ed.S., District TOSA /East African, St Paul Public Schools, coordinated the translations.

Megan Budke, Immersion Indigenous World Language Coordinator, St. Paul Public Schools, provided district support.

Ismail Mohamed assisted translation uploads.

Dorcas Wepukhulu, Coordinator for East and West Africa -SAIDE, provided support with African Storybook.
