* NAME CHANGE:
The Committee to Support Literacy Initiatives in Haiti (KIPKAA) alerts everyone that it has officially undergone a name change. Now, its name is:
The International Committee to Promote the Creole Language and Creole Literacy (KEPKAA in Haitian Creole).
The purpose for this change is to open even wider the doors of the organization to ALL persons, ALL countries interested in the promotion of the Creole language and Creole literacy.
KEPKAA takes advantage of this occasion to confirm to ALL its collaborators that this name change does not diminish in any way its orientation or objectives.
Longueuil, the 23rd of December 2002, Pierre-Roland BAIN, Coordinator |
