Mm, the quote in the photo may not be correct for any Blind person or any Deaf person.. perhaps I can re write the quote as follow in “Kindness is a language the blind can hear and the deaf can see.”
The NZSL Week run from the 7th to 13th of May this year. Reflecting back to the 6th of April 2006, the parliamentary bill need to approve the NZSL passed its third reading on the 6th of April 2006. The bill received Royal Assent, (a constitutional formality), on the 10th of April 2006. New Zealand Sign Language became an official language of New Zealand the day after the Royal Assent.
Today there are three languages which are Māori, NZSL and English in New Zealand.
This morning I took a deaf with speech impaired and CP man for his shopping and banking at Westfield Shopping Centre, Chartwell and Pak n Save. Several people including children were watching us in signing conversation. We were not bothered by people and children staring us, because they do not realise or to understand very little about sign language. The staff ask me to reply what are the signs such as in thank you, help, foods, and please. Then the team responded back to the deaf man in signs and his face lighted up and smiled.
