More on context

"The Catholic mission which provides education in the form of a primary school and a secondary school plays a very positive role in the maintenance of the language and culture of Kona. [...] Inhabitants are rather proud of their origin [and] consciousness of preserving and maintaining the language and cultural heritage is high and in many cases the means of doing so are available."
