After the album was published and released a trip to Šutka was in order. On the 25th of October 2005, Gjuner, Trinet, Marc and Joli took a plane to Macedonia for a week’s stay in Šutka. It turned out to be a week full of activity. In short: Gjuner showed us around his birthplace and we met Gjuner’s brother Sevgul Abdula who runs a local NGO called “Rromano Vas” (now called “Kham Sijan”). Rromano Vas responded with enthousiasm and was found willing to organize and coordinate the project on the Šutka side of Europe. The organization became invaluable to the project. Meetings with the board of directors and teachers of the “Brakja Ramiz Hamid” elementary school were set up to discuss our ideas and ask for advice. In the end we decided to wait and see how album sales would turn out before taking definite action, but the framework was set up and met with positive response.The album was then presented on national and local TV and radio amongst which the famous Romany TV-station “Šutel”. At the end of our stay, a press conference was held in the “Brakja Ramiz Hamid” elementary school to present the album and our intentions. Many people showed up, amongst whom member of parliament Nezhdet Mustafa, Isein Erduan, mayor of Šuto Orizari, other council members, representatives of the local NGO’s Romano Vilo, Romano Kham and Darhia, as well as writers, poets and theatermakers Ašmet Elezovski, Fuat Abedin, Ali Gjuneš, Sejfula Ramče, Ljatif Demir and many others.
A year had passed and album sales were a little bit slow, but nonetheless enough money had been generated to start making a book. Sevgul had thoroughly investigated the financial side of printing and he and Marc had been discussing the options by e-mail. Marc then went to Šutka once more to dot the i’s with Sevgul and in cooperation with the schools material was selected and written or translated into Romany by schoolteachers, local writers and poets.
Kham Sijan then coordinated the printing and publishing and on the 22nd of December 2006, 2000 copies of a wonderful new book entitled: “Numaj o lil si amaro amal” (Only the book is our friend), were presented to the schools and of course the children. Again a press conference was held at which Gjuner was present as well as Mr. Nezhdet Mustafa, representing the Macedonian parliament. It was well attended by the media and generated a lot of interest from other Romany schools and NGO’s in Macedonia and other countries, as well as from the Macedonian authorities. And so it became the first Romany school book to be officially recognized by the Macedonian authorities.
In November 2006 the Bizoagor album has been relased in Germany. At this occasion Parne Gadje made a concert tour playing at five German locations. From these concerts a new life CD has been composed, which appeared in February 2008. It contains some of the Bizoagor material, now played by Parne Gadje.
