These educational materials are designed for children in the Chittagong Hill Tracts to learn their native language, Marma; the initiative combats minority language extinction, high drop-out rates, and cultural marginalisation under government oppression. This self-initiated project began as a collaboration with Our Golden Hour and the three schools set up in monasteries by Maung Nyeu, a native of the Chittagong Hill Tracts obtaining his PhD in Education from Harvard University.
