font-family:Arial'>The American School for the Deaf (ASD) collaborated with the
Zayed Higher Organization (ZHO) to provide educational services for deaf pupils
in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The ZHO requested two teachers from the US to
teach American Sign Language (ASL) and English to deaf children and teachers of
deaf children for eight weeks in February and March. ASD posted the
advertisement regarding the request by the ZHO on Deaf Digest. After I read it,
I applied for this lifetime opportunity without any hesitation because I always
wanted to teach deaf children in a foreign country since I was 13 years old
when I visited a Deaf school in Graz, Austria where my parents had graduated.

applicants by the ZHO, which runs the children with disabilities programs in
the state of Abu Dhabi in the UAE. The other teacher is Patricia Pangborn, a
teacher at American School for the Deaf in West Hartford, CT. We agreed that I
would teach deaf classes in Abu Dhabi, a capital of the country and she would
teach in Al-Ain, 100 miles east of Abu Dhabi. After the ZHO learned that I am
Deaf, they had some reservations because they never had a deaf teacher before and
thought that they would have some communication difficulties with me.
Jeff Bravin, Executive Director of ASD, assured them that they would be fine
with me.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

of work with Deaf UAE students and teachers today. A personal school driver
picked me up at the hotel and drove me to the ZHO, a school site for special
education students. Someone escorted me to the department of Hearing Impaired.
Some minutes later, several male and female deaf students greeted me and asked
if I am deaf. I replied that I am deaf, the same as them. We chatted to break
the ice. We walked to the lecture room where I would be teaching. Approximately
16 deaf pupils and 10 staff were in the class. Male pupils and staff were
sitting separately from their female counterpart. Most female students and
staff wore headscarves. Male are forbidden to touch a female unless the male is
a relative or married to her. I was caught off guard when a female
administrator learned of my marital status; she announced in the class that she
was going to look for Arab woman for me so I could live here. I smirked
awkwardly and have to be open-minded to their different culture. I was pleased
that I had a great start at the school.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

the UAE students fare at ASD. Some teachers asked about an oral program, and if
it benefits Deaf and Hard of Hearing children's education. Jeff replied that it
depends on an individual. They were impressed that Jeff and I are so well
educated despite the fact that we could not speak. They asked us if there are
deaf people in America like us. He replied again that it depends on individual
and everyone is different.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

exams to the Deaf and Hard of Hearing teachers. Two teachers asked me to meet
them at the mall after the exam and gave me a bag with a card and a small box.
It was "Thank You" with signatures by teachers. I opened the box and
was utterly shocked to find new Calvin Klein watch! I will never forget their
generosity.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
