SignPuddle Servers

[Valerie Sutton]

Hello Gerard -
We already donate SignWriting materials all over the world, and with  
funding, we can donate SignPuddle products as well...In fact we  
already have in several cases...

So if a new school (one that has not already received materials from  
us) applies to our SignWriting Literacy Project, and fills out the  
form, writes a letter on school letterhead, and agrees that we can  
post information about their school using SignWriting on the web,  
then we donate materials to that school...so if a school in Kenya or  
anywhere wants to join the SignWriting Literacy Project, go to:

SignWriting Literature Project
http://www.signwriting.org/forums/teachers/teachers.html

and follow the instructions on this web page:

Application Page
http://www.signwriting.org/forums/teachers/teach005.html

Donations of a PocketPuddle (which normally only costs $100 anyway,  
which is an extraordinary cheap price for what it is), might be  
possible through the SignWriting Literacy Project, for classrooms  
with Deaf students that have gone through the application  
process...Our non-profit organization raises money annually to pay  
for the materials we donate...and I will talk to Steve about  
including a PocketPuddle for schools that apply.

The SignWriting Literacy Project is one of many projects under our  
Center for Sutton Movement Writing ...The Center started in 1974. The  
Literacy Project started in 1998...

Val ;-)
