Thank you for introducing yourself Dali. I enjoyed reading your email.

My name is Maria from Malta. I am part of the Sign Language Project here
in Malta. Our current projects are an on-going Dictionary of Maltese Sign
Language (including SignWriting for every entry). We have also just
started tranlating the key stories from the Bible into SignWriting. We
still have a long long way to go, but it's so encouraging to know we are
not working alone and that there are many people over the globe walking in
the same direction.

If you need any help, let us know,

God Bless,
Maria
