-- lunch delivery business in Malaysia
Hairul Anuar, a deaf man in Malaysia, has a growing
lunch delivery business. He had ambitions of either
being a civil engineer or architect, but
discrimination against deaf students at Malaysian
universitites blocked him. He then became an
accountant, but wasn't happy with it. He, however,
was skilled in the kitchen, making meals for his
family - and so started his own lunchbox delivery
service. Business has grown and he has hired
several deaf people to help him prepare lunches
for his hearing clients. A picture is at:

-- expensive bill for telecommunications relay service
In Nebraska, a deaf man was billed $40.00 per month just for
telecommunications relay service. This bill was too much
and the deaf man could not afford it. He was using his
cell phone to stay in touch with the world, and that
was why he was billed an additional $40.00. Fortunately
for him, a local service agency has helped pay his
phone bill.
-- broken campus bells at RIT
For years RIT had electronic bells that would alert
hearing students to the time of the day. These
bells have been broken, very difficult to fix.
The reason why RIT may not be too eager to fix
the bells is becuase of deaf students at NTID.
The RIT administration did not want deaf students
to ask them why are they spending so much money
to have bells fixed when there are other priorities
they need! So, these bells continue as inoperative!
