The Deaf History International projects and Research for the community

$245 donated
Given by 4 generous donors in around 6 months

To buy a new IMac Apple 21.5" i5 2.8GHz Quad Core/8GB Ram/1TB HDD to replace my old trusty desktop.

International

I did a lot of extensive works on Deaf history, sign language, literacy for people with learning disabilities and Deaf ESOL students.The funding is very low (down to $100.00).

The reason why I am doing researching, establish a website (Facebook and WIX), writing books and blogs because many people do not know or know very little about our Deaf culture, Sign Language and the community. I have around 1300 people who are interesting about our New Zealand and International Deaf History, Sign Language and the culture.

My research is literacy for many Deaf adults in two languages which are New Zealand Sign Language and English for their workplace, with their children at home and to read letters and newspapers.

My second research and to write books in the history of the Deaf Culture, Sign Language and the Deaf community.

Without the research, projects even writing books/blogs from home office, It will be lost for the community to learn about our Deaf Culture, Sign Language, the Deaf community and the literacy for Deaf Adults around Waikato.

Any donations towards this projects, research and writing books/blogs/website for me: I would be very much appreciated and make a massive difference to my projects in the Deaf community and the rest of the community to learn about our Deaf culture and sign language.

Use of funds

$2500.00 will be spent on getting a new one iMac desktop and to create a website and to continue to write books. If I can not gain any fundings, it will go to make a website from my laptop and to continue scanning and keep in the folders.
