== «Wikipedia in the classroom» in Guarani language ==
On mid-December, Wikimedia Argentina published the first edition of its
booklet “Wikipedia in the classroom” in an indigenous language, like
Guarani. “Vikipetã mbo’eha kotýpe” is also the first publication about
Wikipedia in Guarani language and any other American indigenous language.
The goal of “Wikipedia in the classroom”, both in Spanish and Guarani, is
to help teachers to understand what is Wikipedia, how it works and how they
can use it in an useful way. Most students already use Wikipedia so it is
really important that teachers know what to do.
“Wikipedia in the classroom” is an initiative launched in 2010 by Wikimedia
Argentina with the support of different institutions, including the
Education portal of the Argentine government, educ.ar. They released an
special website about the project. Wikimedia Argentina will print 500
booklets of the Guarani edition to be distributed in schools and other
educational institutions, and we expect to publish new editions in other
indigenous languages in 2013.
Guarani Wikipedia or Vikipetã was released in 2005, but lacks more active
volunteers (currently, it has less than 20). Guaraní (avañe’ẽ) is spoken by
8 million people and is the official language of Paraguay, Bolivia and
Corrientes Province in Argentina, being one of the most used indigenous
American languages currently. Wikimedia Argentina in the past years have
started different projects to increase the usage and development of the
Guarani Wikipedia, teaching its use to native speakers, something that was
recognized by the Chamber of Deputies of the Province of Buenos Aires. We
hope that this initiative can attract more speakers of that language to
participate in projects of the Wikimedia Foundation.
I just created a first and fresh offline version of Wikipedia in
Guarani. You may find it at http://www.kiwix.org
The bundled version with Kiwix is available here:

Hope this can help.
Kind regards
