yes we can

[Gerard Meijssen]

Hoi,
I was reading<http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/08/weekinreview/08cohen.html?ex=1370577600&en=1003ac9b68664c88&ei=5124&partner=permalink&exprod=permalink>about
how Barack Obama became the candidate for the next presidency of the
USA. The article describes how Internet savy people made so much of a
difference. A reference was made to a song by will.i.am on the text of a
speech known as "yes we can". I had a look, in it a range of singers weave
their song in the text. Somewhere in the middle there was someone signing..
:)

I found it really moving... Because "yes we can" I realise is very much our
motto as well. Yes, we can write the sign languages of he world! Yes, we can
spread the word that SignWriting helps kids and improves their academic
career. I cannot be as eloquent as Adam Frost is in the video that he
recorded for the
Cherasco<http://gopiedmont.i-iter.org/categor%C3%ACa/lenga/english>festival;
he
*really *articulated brilliantly the relevance of SIgnWriting in his life.

Thanks,
      Gerard
