One of the NGO's (Non-Government Organization) put on an expo in town the other weekend. We decided to take advantage of the event, and set up a small table for people to try out the orthography survey. It was a great success. Within a few moments we had drawn quite a crowd, and in just over an hour collected 18 surveys. Each school we have gone to has taken at least 2 hours, so that was pretty exciting! The survey is comprised of 48 words and 6 sentences which focus on sounds that are not used in the national language. We are curious to see how people are representing those sounds on paper.
A couple days later we made that long trip with an overnight (my "new hilton") and collected more surveys from schools, government officials, and people who were hanging out and willing to do it. The survey was done on a ping-pong table in one school, a non-ventilated room in another, a government office, a small restaurant, and outside someone's home. I did a little babysitting while some ladies worked on the survey. Apparently dad passed by, so that's what we're looking at. :)
