Raising funds for my Deaf sister to continue her studies.

Hi Aletta,

So sorry to hear that implant did not work all those years ago. I thought it had helped at the time. It really was a special story to shoot back at that time in the 80's, and one of my old news stories that I did have digitized. I wasn't sure if your family had a VHS/tape copy, but I would be very happy to send you the digital copy via email if you guys would like it.

If you want that digital version, please send me an email address and I will attach it to an email to you via Gmail.

It will be a bit large to attach directly, but it will give you a link in the email which you can click on and download the video file from the Google drive. So glad to see that Renatha is well, and contributing to society in a very nice way.

(By the way, I did contact her on Linkedin, and she actually said she didn't want to see the video because it brought back bad memories, but as I say if you would like a copy, will email you the Google drive link)

Kind regards,

Kevin Stuart Smith

Hi Aletta,

In the 1980's I shot a TV News story for the SABC concerning your sister receiving a hearing implant. I wondered if you would like a copy of that video and if it may help with your fund-raising on her behalf, please let me know if you would like that clip, and how I could send it to you.

Kind regards,

Kevin Stuart Smith
