Deaf/ Hearing Go- Camp Team and Staff

 Helen: Coordinating ‘Go Camp’ was my biggest recent challenge but I loved it. Eight deaf and eight hearing student had a rich cultural experience learning more about faith as they lived together in community for 3 wks. Two students Moses and Netty  both made light of their big mobility challenges. Laurence did exceptionally well as the only ‘muzungu’ white and youngest participant. I was so pleased he got to see and work with the people in Labone S Sudan.  Adam took half the students, including Netty to Yivu in Maracha district. Walt co-led the remainder of the students, including Laurence , based at YWAM Labone in S Sudan.

Adam: Whilst we were in England a deaf/hearing Arua team ran a successful Home Sign workshop. This increases my hope in the possibility of delegating more responsibility to local interdependency advocates in the future.  The last slide shows a review of our activities over the past three years. Training future instructors  and deaf graduates n vocational subjects continues. Sign workshop venues have now moved from the community to the homes of the  deaf youth. Sign resources for new sign topics  are now being trialled in video rather than photo format to increase user’s sign accuracy. Deaf/hearing discipleship and bible dramas continue. Sign language workshops for improvers to develop as future interpreters are now running
