Dear Jerry and Tini,
<p>Well done with the site on Children to Children. I enjoyed reading through
the children's writing even though I couldn't understand everything, because
of course it's not Maltese Sign Language.
<p>Last summer in Malta we had a workshop on signwriting and a small group
of Deaf children picked up the writing system amazingly fast. Some time
ago they even started to write letters to each other.
<p>This is just an idea ok, because I understand that the sign languages
are different so it might not work. However what if we ask the children
to write letters to each other? You know, like penpals from abroad? I know
of a couple who might be interested.

you Valerie for your nice comments. Yes it would be wonderful if, as Jerry
suggested , that the "Ch. to Ch." could become world wide.It is so nice
to see children's work in print.Wow Jerry do I see this right, did you
place every sign separately. It made it really clear to read. A big job!!!!!!Sorry
I could not make out the name of the child but he or she was hungry for
a hot dog or hamburger at Mc. Donald. The drawing showed a big city with
the big Mc. Donald sign. I might be way off!!!!You know what, it would
be very handy if there is a translation or glosses with the Sign Writing.
No matter what language,Thank you so much for this opportunity to read
children's works, jus great!!!!L.I.F.E.Tini.</font></font></blockquote>
