Sign language workshops for those wanting to support their deaf neighbours


Ad: At the end of December we enjoyed two day visits at the ‘Arua Youth Camp’. The deaf have not previously been involved with this event and we thought they were missing out so offered to take them for a couple of taster day visits. We took turns to offer communication support. Another local signer, Jonathan, circled , helped too.






Several hearing youth asked for a sign workshop so Lydia, inset, and Jonathan, circled, gladly obliged. The deaf, Lydia, Godfrey and Molly interacted well throughout the teaching. We hope more of the deaf have the motivation to join a similar programme next year. We want to thank the camp organisers for being very inclusive and we hope more of the hearing participants will have be as inclusive as their leaders have.
