-- a deaf product making people healthy
What is a Deaf Product in Tanzania, a nation in
Africa? It is soap products (liquid soap, bar soap,
disinfectant and hand washing soap). The Small
Industries Development Organization is teaching
a group of young deaf people on soap making. Goal
is to encourage them to go into business for
themselves selling soap products.
-- a CI preventing a deaf woman from doing her job
Katie McCormick, who is deaf, wanted to work in
a beauty parlor in a small British town. She took
training classes and received work certificates.
But for some reason she is not able to work with
some machines in the beauty parlor because it
interfered with her CI. She is still working
in the same place but not using machines at all!
-- interpreters risking a $5,000 fine
A bitter debate is going on among legislators
in Idaho. The issue - to license or not to
license the ASL interpreters. Two interesting
points were brought up - unlicensed professionals
in Idaho risk a $5,000 fine. And only 16 states
require licenses for interpreters. What about
RID? It was not brought up among these debating
legislators!
