3rd International Conference on Disability and Rehabilitation in Saudi Arabia

Sat Aug 9 22:32:24 UTC 2008

Hello Mohammed!
Presenting your research at the 3rd International Conference on  
Disability and Rehabilitation in Saudi Arabia, sounds like a perfect  
idea...

and so would a SignWriting workshop ;-))

It is so fortunate, that you are in Saudi Arabia anyway, and can teach  
the workshop...(that means a lot! ;-)

Thank you for writing portions of the Koran in Saudi Arabian SL  
recently on SignPuddle...

Saudi Arabian Sign Language Literature
http://www.signbank.org/SignPuddle1.5/index.php?ui=1&sgn=91

The Arabic writing looks so beautiful!

For those new to SignPuddle, go to the above link, and if you click on  
the icon "Search by Words" top left, and then place an asterisk in the  
search field, and press Search, the Arabic entries are listed for you.  
Then click on an Arabic word or sentence to see the equivalent in  
written sign language...

Anyway, Mohammed, I am happy to help in any way I can...Let's talk  
privately about this...

Val ;-)
