Here’s a new tool, in numerous languages, for short-term and medical mission groups to use in local churches, schools and community centers, for outreach and for development. It is a revolutionary tool designed to help lift communities out of poverty. Imagine taking the cumulative knowledge of doctors, dentists, nutritionists and agricultural experts, who have worked among the world’s poor, and pooling that information into a single, practical and easy-to-use video curriculum.
The teachers speak at an easy pace, using basic language, so that they can be easily understood, even by those with limited education and vocabulary. Many “appropriate technologies” are covered to help overcome sickness, poverty, and malnutrition. The series can also be used by Missionaries and Church Planters to meet the physical needs of a community, opening people to evangelism. It is currently available in five languages, including an edition with English followed by a blank space for translation into any language. To see sample clips and for ordering visit:

Very cool.
It would be nice if someone who speaks one of the three languages into which this item has already been translated would comment on the “ease” (or lack thereof) that it has (or does not have) in being translated into the second language.
