We have reached our funding goal!
我们达到筹款目标了！
Words cannot describe our joy! It has taken nearly four months for our small team to reach this point in this project. From conceptualisation to the research of Teochew words, initial illustrations and videos, preparation of Kickstarter campaign and rewards, to marketing… while still having to juggle with our day jobs.
此时此刻，我们的喜悦无法用言语形容！从项目策划，到词汇考究，再到绘图、图卡和视频制作，以及Kickstarter众筹页面和礼品的筹备，还有后期宣传……在要兼顾本职工作的情况下，我们这个小团队用了将近四个月的时间走到了今天这一步，实属不易。
We are currently 105% funded, thanks to our 81 generous backers from Singapore, USA, Australia, UK, Canada, Hong Kong, France, Denmark, Thailand, Switzerland, Germany, Japan and Malaysia.
目前，我们已经达到105%的筹款目标，由衷感谢来自新加坡、美国、澳洲、英国、加拿大、香港、法国、丹麦、泰国、瑞士、德国、日本和马来西亚等地这81位慷慨资助我们的支持者！
We are also touched by the warm help given to us in publicity on Facebook by Gaginang friends from the following groups:
在过去这几天，我们也收到了以下Facebook群组和页面的热心宣传和支持：

What does reaching our funding goal mean?
现在达到筹款目标，对我们而言意味着什么？
Firstly our Kickstarter does not officially end till 12:00 AM UTC+8 on 16 August 2022. We will carry on our ongoing efforts to tell more people about this project and the importance of passing on the gift of mother tongue to our children. Do continue to support us on this front!
首先，我们的Kickstarter筹款活动在2022年8月16日12:00 AM UTC+8才正式结束。我们仍有时间继续让更多的朋友认识到这个项目，意识到潮州话作为母语传给我们的孩子的重要性。请大家在这方面继续支持我们！
At the same time, we will kick off the production of our flashcards, videos and other rewards. Our aim is to deliver them to our backers in time for the Christmas season this year.
与此同时，我们可以更早地投入早教图卡、视频及其他礼品的生产制作。我们希望能在圣诞节之前，将这些礼物送到支持者的手上。
Plenty of work ahead. But we know it is worth it.
