When we reported the progress this morning that had been made through
the end of the work day yesterday, we were glad to be able to add three rows of
rice plants to the fields in our progress meter. And since that, in combination
with the results from the previous two days, also yielded a field that was
filled to capacity (4 rows), we were able to add a woman to tend the first
field. That was a nice touch by Clare and Rebecca that many of the participants
seems to appreciate quite a lot.

| Reporting results from Day 3 |
Getting people to come and volunteer their time is still proving to be
a challenge, but we have a good core group of dedicated individuals. And today,
the groups redoubled their efforts to move through the topics more quickly in
order to complete as many as possible by the end of next week. The target we
have communicated to them is 180 per day. Tuesday we covered only 108,
yesterday we got through 134, and today we collected words in 171, so our
message is getting through and the participants are working hard. We do have a
backlog of material to be translated into French, so tomorrow we’ll try to
address that. It’s hard, though, when we have to use the Glossers to fill out
the ranks in the word-collection groups, so many of them are unavailable for
translation.
