-- there is no "Registry of Interpreters" in one nation
What happens if there is no "Registry of Interpreters"
(RID) in a country? The country without such an organization
is Namibia in Africa. The Namibian National Association
of the Deaf (just like our own NAD) is complaining that
the quality of interpreters is - lousy! And even worse,
no asks the national organization for input and feedback
on the interpreters. When we stop and think about it,
we are lucky that we have RID.
-- Voice 911 sometimes has deaf problems
A spokesperson at a 911 center said that when there are
domestic situations involving the deaf, then these voice
911 calls sometimes do not work very well. For some
reason when hearing family members makes these 911 calls,
the dispatchers are not able to get the full information
they need to be able to respond effectively. Something
to do with language barriers between family members!
-- Deaf involved in a pro-separation nation near Russia
In Belarus, there are people that do not like Ukraine
and like Russia. Again, in Belarus there are those that
like Ukraine and hate Russia. In a way the deaf are
involved! While we do not know if any of them are
fighters on the battlefield, there is a group in
Belarus. They have been sneaking around in small
towns in Belarus, giving out tiny Russian flags
to people.
