– A sore throat at the start of the end of Term One – School holiday in New Zealand.- A second Cyclone is arriving today, and it called Cyclone Cook. The previous Cyclone Debbie came here from Australia last week.- One NZSL class at the library cancelled by myself to the staff because of the people with learning disabilities and their safety by coming to the Central Library at the Hamilton City. It is safer than sorry. – The second job for assisting and supporting an ESOL Deaf lady at the Settlement Resources Centre, I told this Deaf lady to stay at home for her safety and to avoid my throat virus. Tomorrow it is the start of a long weekend – Easter weekend, and I don’t celebrate chocolate Easter eggs. I am a Christian person and believe in faith since my father’s death when I was six years old. I can be a sceptic on anything that falls my path. What I enjoy is to eat hot cross buns, time together with my hearing partner and dogs and to have a long relaxing weekend! So far, with the warning of the Cyclone Cook on the media for many d/Deaf people and Hearing Impaired people by having to broadcast on tv, facebook, twitters and to provide an interpreter during the breaking news. It appeared to be working, BUT I don’t know until after the storm pass. In the past, Media companies and the Government failed to provide interpreters on the news, Facebook, Civil Defence websites. We, the group called Deaf Action wrote out a petition along with many signatures to the Government and media companies. They declined and the lack of awareness for all people with disabilities in the urban and in the rural like me. Sigh, it is a long way to go.
