/ #98 The Sign language

I am a deaf lady named Rachel Yaapoka Sulemanu from Ghana, who is the founder of Deaf Hope Community School at the new site at Kasoa in the Central Region part of Ghana. We intended to assist deaf and hard of hearing children in the community to acquire basic pre-school through primary school education including some programs such as vocational classes, library, computer class and science lab in school. Without the assistance of the sign language for children, our work will be vain and they will not be able to communicate effectively and to acheive their goals in the future. So therefore we support the use of the sign language for deaf and hard of hearing children in education.
