FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT
Today is International Literacy Day. As an organization that promotes Deaf literacy in Africa thru the indigenous sign languages, one of our most important project brands is our TRIPLE ACTION PROJECT comprising the Intl Literacy Day

Just read the beautifully crafted @WFD2019 position on "situating deaf communities within disability vs cultural & Linguistic minority constructs", translated into different national sign languages, but no African Sign Language. Sad!

[Dr. Emmabros @Emmabros]

My question is, are there no national sign languages of any African country? Or is it part of the assumption that African countries use ASL and other imposed foreign sign languages @drjosephjmurray @WASLI_tweets @hrw

[Dr. Emmabros @Emmabros]

At last, 8 weeks of consecutive intensive online class on sign language linguistics is over! I couldn't be more grateful. Congratulations to you all that made the class till the end. Stay tuned for the bigger thing... Coming soon!
