September 30, 1999 Dear SignWriting List: I am happy to announce that there is now an official SignWriting Literacy Project in Lima, Peru. The project has two branches. It will be taught at a school for Deaf children in Lima, by teacher Susana Stiglich. Susana is Deaf herself, a native of Peru, and a graduate of Gallaudet University. I understand Susana is fluent in four languages...Spanish, English, Peruvian Sign Language and American Sign Language. It will also be taught to Deaf adults in Lima, by teacher Juliana Palmer. Susana has already started the big job of translating our materials into Spanish and Peruvian Sign Language. And I met with Juliana Palmer about a week ago, and Juliana left with a pile of SignWriting books under her arm....I wonder how she will carry all that home to Lima?! (smile :-) So...here is the letter from the school's director, where Susana Stiglich teaches: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ August 23, 1999 Centro de Educacion Especial La Segrada Familia Audicion y Lenguaje Jr. San Martin 385 Magdelena del Mar, Lima, Peru Misters. To whom it may concern. I direct myself to greet you and at the same time inform you about our schoool that is a public school for the deaf and speech and language problems. The school serves in the grades of preschool, elementary and high school. The motive of this letter is requesting for you to send us in form of donation the complete literacy project. With this letter, again I would like to greet you and express our sincerest thanks and appreciation for your attention in our dear children. Sincerely, Senora Lidia Samame Fernandez Director Cee N-14, La Segrada Familia ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Valerie ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Valerie Sutton SignWritingSite...Lessons Online https://www.SignWriting.org SignBankSite...Databases Online https://www.SignBank.org Deaf Action Committee For SignWriting Box 517, La Jolla, CA, 92038-0517, USA |
