A Rapid Word Collection workshop was held for the Madhya-Purbiya Tharu language September 9-17. The event was hosted by SIL at its office complex in Kathmandu in collaboration with Mother Tongue Center Nepal (NGO). Six word-collection groups worked for ten days and succeeded in collecting nearly 23,000 lexical items.

A RWC workshop organized by the Suang Lotud community was held near Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia September 18-29, 2013. It was not the ideal time to hold the workshop, as many Lotud speakers were unavailable, but it was the only time that would work for certain key participants.
