SignWriting List September 19, 2001 Dear SW List: I wanted to share this interesting message with you. Stefan sent this to me, about his Deaf student Irina, age 9. She had asked me if I had seen the skyscraper in New York fall down? As you all know, I answered in a general way....Yes...but people are helping and so forth... ------ Stefan wrote today: >> We went to our Computer-room and looked at your website ... The >>children loved to see their pictures on your website and they >>realized that all people from the world who can get into the >>internet will get the opportunity to watch their drawings. Well I translated and signed you wonderful written letter . Irina looked at me very concentrated. In the end - and I was surprised about her way of thinking - she simply asked - "ok - but - Has Frau Valerie seen the tower falling down ??" -- I looked again at your answer and learned something about Irina. She really has been interested to know the following - are you - the reader of her letter - the informed person about this tragedy ?? Is she correct to exchange with you some of her actual ideas - which needs a common experience? -- That is impressive to me - little deaf girl - so bright , so comunicative competent - Thanks again to take Irinas letter as seriously as she has meant it ! I am very gratefull for that !! Stefan ;-) ------------- |
