SW Workshop (possible?) for Kenya

[Shane Gilchrist O hEorpa]

Dear Sebolelo,

I am the Chair of Kenya Deaf Children Trust - and we plan to introduce
SignWriting to Kenya's 30 deaf schools but it will mean we need to train the
deaf teachers there how to teach (Kathje & Sara, fancy a trip???)

KDCT hope to set up a Centre for Deaf Studies in Nairobi where SignWriting
will be promoted big time - but that is in a good while although. It ll mean
a lot of preparations, materials to be prepared etc - thats if we can come
into any money!

However, shall we have any SW training in Kenya, you are more than welcome
to come to Kenya for this - its just a short hop across the Dark Continent
:-)
