THANKS TO YOU the video with the stories in Argentine Sign Language that won the National Sign Language Contest is becoming a reality to be enjoyed by more than 8,000 deaf children and adults.
Today we finished editing the DVD that will be sent to all schools for the deaf! From the eight winning stories, one was filmed again in high quality. The deaf narrator came to Canales accompanied by the deaf student who illustrated the story and with his teachers. We are sharing some photos of that moment.
Another story - the only one invented by a deaf participant - was illustrated by Carolina Chebi, a visual artist and those drawings were animated .
The DVD containing the 8 winners’ stories, two special mentions and a short film of the awards ceremony at the National Congress, will be delivered to all the winners and will be sent to deaf schools.
We wish to continue the work in this line of action, and for that we need YOUR help. Our idea is to create a collection of short stories in Argentine Sign Language for older children and deaf adults to access literature in their own language.
Every donation means one step closer to the creation of a new book in LSA that will become part of the website www.videolibroslsa.org.ar created by Canales.
