-- a deaf lemonade stand for a big reason
Logan Phelps, a deaf 9-year old boy, has set up a lemonade
stand in front of his Gloucester City, NJ, house for
a good reason. He needs new hearing aids as his current
hearing aids are worn out. He is saving money from lemonade
stand profits for that reason. Is he successful? The hearing
aids will cost $6,000. His family cannot afford it. So far
with few weeks remaining in this summer, he has already
saved $4,000!
-- Nike likes deaf
Nike likes deaf? Years ago, Geoff McKinnon, an Australian
track and field coach, who is deaf, wrote letters to hearing
coaches, asking for coaching advice. He explained that he
was deaf and needed help. No one would answer him except
for Nike! This may be the reason - customer service -
that Nike is so big and so huge nowadays!
-- do not insult the deaf on Facebook
Facebook users in the Philippines insulted and
mocked a deaf Facebook user becase of his deafness.
Mike Sandejas, not deaf, a big man in the Filipino
movie industry, is a Facebook user. He did not like
how the deaf person was treated and he scolded
everyone - telling all of them to treat the deaf
with respect.
