This year at the HABE stand at the Durango Book Fair, visitors were asked: “What can I do for Euskera?”  The answers from those who participated were gathered and among all of them, an iPad mini was awarded to Kepa Ramos.  He was presented the prize by Joseba Erkizia, HABE director.  Following are some of the answers.  And you?  What can you for Euskera? 

Donostia-San Sebastian.   There were many who responded to the questions “Zer egin dezaket nik euskararen alde?” (What can I do for Basque?) at HABE’s stand at the Durango Book Fair.  There were many, and varied responses, but only one of them won the prize.  The winner was chosen this week and so Kepa Ramos, received the prize from HABE director himself, Joseba Erkizia.
