The Principal computer we use to do this is seriously down at this time. However, we have many requests for Arabic translations of our resources and it has been deemed that even in its raw form the quality of her work is excellent. As such we have converted and reformatted it straight into pdf for upload here. The few problems that exist are in the "English" part of it resulting primarily from the conversion process that I used. They will be fixed and updated as son as our principal computer is repaired and we regain access to the appropriate programmes.
