Friends,
We recently had our sign language district convention here in the Dominican Republic. Our peak attendance was just over 1200. One thing that really touched me though, was to see our brothers caring for the deaf AND BLIND! What a provision from Jehovah! For each deaf and blind person (we had about 10) there are two brothers or sisters interpreting for them. One brother will interpret the speaker and the other will interpret scriptures and/or interviewee. These pairs have to be rotated often as it is really hard on the interpreter’s back to be signing while the deaf blind person is resting his hands over the interpreter’s hands.
It is apparent that the Governing Body takes a real interest in our deaf brothers. The many publications available in sign language are evidence of this.
Additionally I encourage you to read the August 15th Watchtower article “Jehovah Has Made His Face Shine Toward Them” and the November 15th Watchtower Article “Cherish Your Deaf Brothers and Sisters!” Both these articles help us appreciate our Deaf friends much better and see what we can do to help.
désolé je ne sais pas comment faire pour traduire :(
