Dear Niko,

Thank you for joining the Media Group. Later today I will start a 4th Group that is mainly about coordination. There are so many of us now that we should share the work a bit in order to improve the quality.

I am sure that your research on prejudice in Press will be very interesting for people like Elena Marushiakova (Studii Romanii) or Ian Hancock (University Texas). If we put some examples on this site, there will be no problem with copyright as long as we mention the source. It often happens that people refer to articles published in this or that paper. With photos and illustrations or cartoons it can be different however. I will ask the many photographers among us and contact you again.

I December we started fundraising, which goes together with contacting famous artists. Therefore I hope that you will be able to convince Yuriy Ivanenko to sign up. Several of us are now involved in recruiting VIPs.

Latest news about the use of the word "tigan" in Romania: it has become a forbidden name! Kind regards, Els

Sorry, the 5th Group. A Group of hard workers ;))

Thank you, Niko,

I will draft a small text in which Romanes speaking members are invited to forward ideas for the first event. Besides you, Lukas and also Hristo offered translation help, but Hristo did not join Coordination yet. I will ask him and hope that there will be 3 of 4 of you at least. Then I wil mention your 3,4 names in this letter to be drafted. So, if people need some help, they can first turn to one of you. We need to start working on concrete ideas, because asking for support needs concrete plans. It is good when we all back the ideas. So once more: nais tuke! I will closely follow the translation. Maybe I will learn from it. Romanes is not easy with all the cases and changes. One last request, what about your friend the director of the orchestra? I hope he will sign up.

Devlesa, Els

Dear Niko, Nikenke, t'aves baxtalo,

I suppose you are even more busy these days than "normally". Yet, I hope you have time to see your mails and react. It is about the statute.

I really appreciate your comments!

Thank you! Nais tuke,

Els

Hello Niko!

Tomorrow I am seeing the notary. I hope we can talk somewhat before.

Nais tuke,

Els

Thanks a lot, Niko!

After my visit to the notary tomorrow I would like to update you and ask a piece of advice. Is that okay?

Lachi rat tuke!

Els

Dear Niko,

I understand you have many things to arrange now. I only have one urgent request: soon the notary will finish her text? Can your Dutch friend help me with the translation from Dutch into English. The notary is already quite expensive, so some help in translating is welcome.

Thanks a lot! But baxt!

Els

Hello, I would like to invite you to our new group here at "Khetanes": ROMANO THEM TRANSMISSION - with which we want to share the great culture and arts of Roma. Please join this group. Thank you! Viola Razavi
