Mainsparis’ vlog (LSF Vlogger: Bruno Moncelle) INTERNATIONAL DAY OF THE DEAF

Ella Mae Lentz’s vlog: September 29, 2007 Take Action!

(transcript)

Hello,

I wanted to share the information with you from what I heard about Sept. 29. I decided to check out the vlogs. The two vloggers inspired me. Bruno (Deaf & French) and Ella were talking about Sept. 29^th to have a special day for all of us to remember that sign language is for the deaf people. I would like to show how I felt about that day.

(Jon put black shirt on)

Now, I felt something by wear this black shirt. It made me feel morosely and fell apart by limited on sign language. I can see most of deaf people were dissuaded to have a deaf community in my hometown. That’s depressing for me and I understand why I’m wearing this black shirt. I do understand what audism have done to the deaf people and me for a long time. Also, we have experienced in our journey through a rough road as we searched a better place for all of us. I would like to have International Deaf and Sign Language Day to be visualized all the way around the world that is unity. We are able to accept by digging up in our souls to see on our hands and spirits to be united. All of us can understand better and then we could chant before by 4 PM as we show to the world that Deaf people want to see Audism to stop now. We can inspire ourselves to use sign language for socializing and communicating. How?

(Jon took black shirt off)

Now, I could visualize in sign language as colorful. Now, I’m wondering if we could make it happen. YES! Here, San Diego as the same day event with Deaf Awareness Day! I asked DAD committee to let us to be included for the event as for San Diego chapter of California Association of the Deaf and San Diego chapter of American Sign Language Teachers Association. I hope to have them to join with us to celebrate on this event together as unity.

I want to make a suggestion about selling t shirts with designs included the definition of the word, AUDISM on the rear of tee. We would like to support Deaf Bilingual Coalition (DBC) for having a special guest, who would give out a presentation to our hometown. The special guest can inform people with deaf children that American Sign Language is a successful language for deaf people to use for their communication and social skills. Also, ASL will improve their English writing skills as well. I would love to spread the words out in my hometown, deaf people, and deaf community.
