-- some deaf people hate interpreters
Interpreters are important to the deaf; yet
because of some bad experiences with them,
there are, unfortunately, some deaf people
that hate them. Simply said, no interpreters,
the more difficult it is for the deaf!
DeafDigest editor read an anti-interpreter
posting today.
-- over $300,000 but not for Deaf Home
An organization serving deaf senior
citizens has over $300,000 in the
bank. Why not just use the money to
buy a Home for the Deaf Seniors?
More complicated than what it seems
to be. If HUD is asked for help,
it would allow hearing seniors to
live in the Deaf Home, which is not
what the deaf members want. Why
not just go ahead and buy a building
for Deaf Home? A real estate group,
knowledgeable with Deaf Homes, said
it is a risky and bad investment!
-- Amazon's high level deaf administrator
A couple of days ago DeafDigest mentioned Amazon
hiring a full time interpreter. There was a reason -
the company hired Michael Nesmith, a deaf man, as the
art director, working with the Amazon Devices Marketing
team. A stressful job means last-minute staff meetings
hence the importance of full tine intepreter on the
premises! This leads to another question - is the
interpreter available only for Nesmith or for all
deaf employees on the Amazon campus?
