Hi Again :-) I have received several offers this weekend from List members asking how they can help SignWriting? Thank you everyone. As you know, all of us are donating our time now, so your offers are truly appreciated. There are two areas where you can help... 1. Creating and typing new Sign Language literature. Deaf children need literature to read! 2. Finding new foundations and other sources for funding. We are a non-profit, and I can write the grants, but I do need new contacts. In other words, if you know of foundations that support "literacy" and/or "Deaf Education", please inform me and I will contact them. Or perhaps you can make the initial contact, and then I can write the grant. As you know, our free program for the schools, called "the SignWriting Literacy Project", is up and running and we have no problems funding the six groups that are now signed up for the project. However, we will need more funding if more schools want to join, so for the sake of new schools, I want to write some grants :-) For those of you who want to create new Sign Language literature...first you need to teach yourself how to type with the SignWriter Computer Program. You can download the shareware for free from our web site: Download Shareware https://www.SignWriting.org/sw128.html or you can purchase the complete program: Computer Program Package https://www.SignWriting.org/sw124.html All proceeds help our organization continue, so it is for a good cause :-) If you have any problems downloading, just write to me personally and I will help you. Thanks again, everyone, for your offers of help and moral support - All the best - Valerie Sutton :-) https://www.SignWriting.org Sutton at the DAC Deaf Action Committee For SignWriting Box 517, La Jolla, CA, 92038-0517, USA (619)456-0098 voice (619)456-0010 tty (619)456-0020 fax |
