Sign Language for Ethiopia

So, I (Faith) have another request. There is a precious boy here in Chiri that is deaf. He is a smart, social kid, but is somewhat of an outcast because of his lack of ability to communicate well. Andrew and I have found a deaf school for him to attend, which is very exciting for him and his family. Andrew visited the school to find out more details for them, and it is a wonderful school. It is the only boarding school in the country that teaches deaf children. It provides room and board, teaches sign language, and also teaches them course work they would normally get in the public schools.
 
The administrator of the school began sharing their frustration of not being trained in American Sign Language (ASL).  He said that ASL has become the international standard for English deaf translation.  His desire was to send one of the teachers to America to learn ASL, so that he could come back and teach it to the other teachers and students. However, it may be possible for one American to come to Ethiopia and teach them all.
 
So my new goal is to find someone who knows ASL to come to Ethiopia and teach these people who are so dedicated to the deaf community here. If any of you know ASL, or anyone else who may be interested, please email us and we’ll connect you with the school.
