I have endeavoured to follow up most of our initiatives that were underway when we left for England in April. At my request, a local police inspector Malimuno, chaired a meeting to resolve misunderstandings that had arisen between two young deaf leaders, Mauster and Godfrey, and myself. The inspectors intervention was really helpful and is now paving the way for possible future partnership with them. I have now given further clarity on our Vision /Values on slide 2.
Your support enabled me to train these deaf youth in IT skills to develop sign-language resources alongside me. Mauster (left) is holding the CD of illustrated everyday sign-language signs we co-produced, whilst Godfrey(right) is teaching the inspector signs from the hard-copy version that has blessed so many village families with deaf members. The inspector gratefully took the sign booklet away because his deaf nephew attends Eruba but he cannot communicate with him! Was that a God-incidence or what? Today I heard this material is rebuilding a mixed deaf-hearing couple’s marriage In Sudan!
The deaf primary students we co-sponsor Sam,, and Ivan, circled, at Eruba are doing well. Sam(circled) s family told me yesterday how much happier and extrovert he is, and how they all want to learn his sign-language !
The sign-language weekend we ran in Paranga has improving family relationships with parents now letting their deaf members join their siblings on trips to the market.,Rev. Gaard told me his week .The Deaf villagers were playing in community sport far more too. Hearing villagers have now been seen striking up conversation with their deaf fellow villagers for the first time. Great news!!
The deaf vocational students are doing well & look set to graduate this December. We’re promoting shared use of sign language and social interdependency with the hearing students by providing a volley ball and UNO cards.
