this letter to the 37 teachers at the Deaf Children Institute for
Boys in Boraydah:

Welcome to the SignWriting Literacy Project for Deaf Children! I am
very happy to know that you are trying SignWriting for the first
time. Today I mailed you a big white box of SignWriting booklets and
videotapes. They are in American Sign Language and English. I hope
you can prepare your own materials. Mohamed's translation of our
SignWriter Computer Program manual is wonderful! It will be posted on
the web soon in PDF format. All of you are welcome to join our
SignWriting List, and to contribute documents to our web site too...
Many blessings -
Assalamu alaikum!
Valerie Sutton
PS. Mohamed - I am also writing the three letters you requested for
the administrators of the school who made this possible. They will
receive separate letters from me. I hope the big box I sent today
arrives safely...It is addressed to you. I have never sent anything
to Saudi Arabia before, and I have no idea how long it will take from
California ;-)
