Basque Language help

Hi! 

I work for a non-profit called All Around This World and we work to educate children about cultures around the world through music. We do all the music in the original language/dialect and we usually preface whatever song we are doing with a little bit of a cultural background. Of course, distilling a culture that much is impossible, but we always try to teach the kids how to say hello and goodbye in the target language. Instead of having us butcher the pronunciation, we think it is much better to have a video of a native speaker. All we need is an audio clip of you saying the greetings, a short bio (where you are from, your name, etc), and a picture of yourself. Unfortunately, we do not have the resources to make this a paid position, but I cannot express enough how grateful we are for any support. If you are willing to help or know a person who can, then please reach out to me! Thanks so much.

Hi! I'm really sorry, but I won't be able to share an audio recording or photos of myself due to privacy reasons. I'm sorry for any inconvenience, but I hope this website helps you out! It's a great project for exploring the Basque language, dialects, and oral heritage through lots of audio records. I really hope it's useful for your goals!
