I was on the news today! As Lisa, a new volunteer from Kentucky said today, "Well, that's a first; I've never been on TV in a foreign country before." A local station came to do a story on Mary Hill's Special Ed center, and interviewed all of us. They just asked me what some challenges were and I said mostly isolation of Deaf students and little access to sign language, and emphasized that Deaf children can learn as fast as any other child if they have good language models. It was really cute footage of the kids working the garden too. Fun fun!
Tonite was a great night w/ the girls. Evelyn had a hard day on Wednesday, really hoomesick, but tonite she and Kristel and Sulmi were playing and laughing. Last nite Kristel and Sulmi spent about 1.5 playing with towels-- who knew a towel could become so many different things?? Definite burst of creative energy.
So next week, I'm going to the zoo w/ the Mary Hill kids on Wednesday and Mitchel & Laisha are invited to come along too, so I hope that happens.
Time for bed now, sleep well.
