Dear Sebolelo,<br><br>I am the Chair of Kenya Deaf Children Trust - and we plan to introduce SignWriting to Kenya's 30 deaf schools but it will mean we need to train the deaf teachers there how to teach (Kathje & Sara, fancy a trip???)
<br><br>KDCT hope to set up a Centre for Deaf Studies in Nairobi where SignWriting will be promoted big time - but that is in a good while although. It ll mean a lot of preparations, materials to be prepared etc - thats if we can come into any money!
<br><br>However, shall we have any SW training in Kenya, you are more than welcome to come to Kenya for this - its just a short hop across the Dark Continent :-)<br><br>Shane <br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 5/24/06,

<br><br><br>Hello Sebolelo!<br>Welcome to the SignWriting List. You are from South Africa? We are<br>happy to meet you!!<br><br>If you want to learn SignWriting, there are several ways to do it...<br><br>1. I can help you over the internet, if you ask questions how to
<br>write signs in email...<br>2. or maybe Ingrid Foggitt can arrange a workshop in Durbin at the<br>Fulton School For The Deaf..would you like me to arrange that for<br>you? I can contact Ingrid...They used SignWriting there before...
<br><br>You wish to travel to California?.... That is a long distance!! Yes,<br>all costs are your responsibility because we are a small group and we<br>have no money ourselves...but of course that would be great if you<br>
can afford it...smile...<br><br>Here, this summer, the SignWriting Workshop in the US is being held<br>inside another bigger conference for Deaf people...the NAD...the<br>National Association of the Deaf Conference in California, which has
<br>nothing to do with us...thousands of Deaf people will be attending<br>the NAD Conference...<br><br>Here is information if you want to attend the NAD conference:<br><br>48th Biennial National Association of the Deaf Conference
