Dear SW List, James -
I am sorry you are having financial problems, James, and I admire
you, that you keep going....Keep courage. You are doing a lot for
Nicaraguan children...your Sign Language/SignWriting educational
programs have worked well...

Oralism will come and go throughout history, but Sign Languages and
SignWriting will always exist no matter what the trend is in Deaf
Education...In my opinion, you made the right choice to use
Nicaraguan Sign Language with your students...
