Ku saabsanAbout
Markii aan doonay inaan af Soomaali akhriyo, way igu adkayd inaan helo meel wanaagsan oo aan wax ku akhriyo. Buugaagta hore ee jira waxay ku kala firirsan yihiin iskaanno, way adag tahay in la helo, waxayna ka sii adag yihiin in la akhriyo.
Kayd waa maktabaddii aan jeclaan lahaa inay jirto: meel deggan oo loogu talagalay qof kasta oo doonaya inuu barto, akhriyo, oo ilaaliyo afkiisa hooyo.
When I wanted to read Somali, it was hard to find a good place to do it. The old books that survive are scattered as scans, difficult to find and harder still to read.
Kayd is the library I wished had existed: a quiet place for everyone who wants to learn, to read, and to keep their mother tongue.
Qofku dal ma dego; af buu degaa.One does not inhabit a country; one inhabits a language.
Akhriska dartiis, af Soomaaligu had iyo jeer wuxuu ii ahaan doonaa dalkayga dhabta ah.Through reading, af Soomaali will always be my true homeland.
