Finally wifi let me post (very) short videos. All filmed using their new Flip cameras.

The seven students introduce themselves.  You can read more about them below:

Adama Jammeh and Lamin Ceesay came to do a presentation with us about life for Deaf people in The Gambia.  This is the tiniest clip of Adama introducing herself and her name sign.  It is interpreted by Bakery, one of the interpreters on the course.

The whole presentation was filmed, and will now be used as a training resource on the course and for professional development after.

I have to confess to being a little in love with Adama’s beautiful rich GSL, and the passion that fuels it.  

Adam is studying Information Technology at GTTI, where Bakery works, and is chair of the Banjul branch and a national board member of GADHOH.

Deaf people localish to GADHOH who came to meet me, and each other :)
