Hello Lucyna!
Thanks for this excellent report. I am so amazed and happy about  
this! It would be nice to post your report about the Symposium on our  
web site later, with your permission ;-)

.... And also, your report in this message, about the camp in  
Slovakia, is excellent, and if you want to prepare it for a web  
posting, I could also post this information about your camp in  
Slovakia. It is my understanding that Slovakia is neither Poland nor  
the Czech Republic, so do I need to start a new country web area for  
Slovakian Sign Language?..smile...Or we could post your report on the  
Czech or Polish sites...

Is Slovakian Sign Language a separate Sign Language from Czech Sign  
Language?...smile...I bet it is! Maybe someday we will need a  
Slovakian SignPuddle...Val ;-)
