[Sw-l] Six SignWriting Topics

Sun Nov 13 23:07:07 UTC 2022

Good night Val and the whole broadcast list...

This morning I felt in my heart to do translations of some topics into
Brazilian Sign Language and American Sign Language. I think in some
spiritual way we are connected.
I am available to translate to Libras and ASL. But watching some videos of
Mauricios Barreto, I felt like trying to do it in International Signs.

In the afternoon I was writing the script for a video that would be an
introduction where I would explain in an updated and modern way "what is
Signwriting?"

But I didn't record it, I was just drafting the script. That email of yours
encouraged me to continue.

I need to see the response of the other participants to see what my next
move will be.
