Hi !!
This is Michael and I’m deaf. I am Student at University of California, San Diego to becoming a teacher for the deaf children in the future. I’m excited to celebrate International Sign Language Day (ISLD) at Balboa Park Club as same day for Deaf Awareness Day (DAD).
International Sign Language Day is to remember the deaf people from all over the world, who suffer for not learning sign language by many schools that are not allow to use this method of communication. Now, we want to show our love from what we choose as to celebrate on special day.
How can we let the world to recognize us? We can wear black tee and you could wear your own or you can buy the printed tee that are being sold at San Diego California Association of the Deaf (SDCAD) booth at DAD event. It only cost 15 dollars per shirt and part of the money will donate to SDCAD.
We have been preparing to have the rally at 4 outside of the Balboa Park Club.We are inviting anyone, who want to give out a speech, poetry, and/or comment. If anyone do, please have them send email to Jon ( L3nois@gmail.com) At the (ISLD) Rally.
We want to bring out a message to the world during the rally.
First part of Rally:
Open Celebration included speech, poetry, and/or comment.
Last part of Rally:
Everyone, who will wear knots around their wrists then we will chant

Mike – the first thing I wanted to say…. the long hair looks hot on you.
Great vlog – it’ll reach out to many beyond San Diego. This is the first signed vlog about Sign Lang Day that I have come across. Perhaps this will encourage other organizers around the world to capitalize on the purpose of Sign Language Day through signed messages on videos?
Jon, your sensitivity towards Deaf Blind people (and hearing people) by doing transcripts of your vlogs is always and immensely appreciated. I love you, man!!!!
