promo poster

Kathje,

a wee suggestion here - perhaps you can get someone to design a lovely
big poster with the VGT 'abc' and '1-20' on it - photographs of ur
kids signing - and then written VGT on it - that way it will attract
the popular imagination?

What you think? That is something ESWO can work with you on that.

thats good news re: the dlink thingy - I will try and get Jordanstown
to get their own dlink vphone - perhaps we can arrange for the deaf
kids in Belfast to sign to the deaf kids at Kasterlinden?

Some more good news here - Richard McFadden, one of the most powerful
leaders in the Sign Language movement in Ireland, wants to learn Sign
Writing - anything he do, other deaf leaders/teachers will follow him,
saying 'no, I was there first!' - which is very good.
