[Wikimedia-l] "Wikipedia in the classroom" in Guarani language

[Everton Zanella Alvarenga]

Caro Osmar,

I would like to congratulate you and Wikimedia Argentina for this
work. I've seen also Wikimedia Argentina booklet in Spanish about one
month ago, and I liked your initiave

And as pointed out in the following discussion, this can be used in
Brazil. Even in São Paulo, for instance, we have some indigeous who
speak Guarani. Let's hope some volunteers from Wikimedia Brasil can
use them in the classroom!

Saludos!

Tom
