Mara Iyama (Language Programme Coordinator for Highlands)
Submitted by Ana_Opungu on
Before I joined BTA I was a literacy worker. I worked among the approximately 28,000 Gadsup- speaking people, situated in the mountains of Eastern Highlands Province near Yonki Dam, the largest dam in the country. I served the Gadsup people for the last 35 years and I’m still working with adult literacy classes.
I was selected to attend STEP course in 1994 and completed my training and joined the staff in 1998. God has allowed me to train Gadsup men who are now involved in Literacy work among our people.
We are now working on the Gadsup Old Testament Bible.
