Culture Vannin has announced the first two recipients of its new bursary scheme.
Money was donated by Manxman and academic professor Brian Kaneen who was keen to see young Manx speakers given the opportunity to experience other Gaelic languages - especially Irish.
This bursary will enable two young women to attend a summer school in Irish language and culture in Donegal.
Adrian Cain is the Manx language development officer for Culture Vannin - he tells us about the recipients of the money:
