Looking through newspapers and other materials while waiting for a new iMac desktop. I came across one of the newspaper articles which printed in the Waikato Times and yes it was me during my studying at the University of Waikato in the past. Today I am a deaf historian (including linguistic and Anthropology). My main focuses are researching about Hamilton Deaf Units from 1962 to 2013, the first Teacher of the Deaf children in Christchurch and other interests from the international Deaf culture and sign language. I have started doing a book but my old iMac desktop was no longer running due to heat fan and unable to continue to work on the desktop. I use my personal laptops which cause my arm and elbow recurring nerve pains. I have to make the adjusted seating and height position of using the laptops while I am waiting for the specialists to do an investigation into the injury.
Now I sold the old iMac for $100.00 to the happy couple who will be able to replace the heat fan but it was not enough. BUT my partner bought me a new iMac by using his loan. Gosh – a loan to borrow money and repaid back to the loan company. My partner has been a huge support to me and I WANT to give something back to him.
There is not enough funding to support me at the moment. Please give time to think about the important lesson about Deaf people in the community, their sign language and their culture…
How much do you know or to understand about the Deaf people here and around the world?
How does Deaf communicate with other people in the community, shops, business?
How does a Deaf person know when there is a fire, earthquakes happening,?
Can a deaf person get a job just like everyone or not?
Go to this page and help me to share with other people in the community to learn about our Deaf people and sign language. Thank you
