Teachers practising the sign for chalk - it starts with pointing at white teeth (Ugandan sign language in case any of our readers speak British Sign Language)Emmanuel and Hannah showing us how to do it properlyPractice makes perfectWe also, in what was a busy week, held sign language training for teachers at Kamwenge Primary School, which has a special needs unit attached with several deaf children. Great fun was had by all the participants as we learnt how to sign greetings and ask for local foods, amongst a wide range of topics. And of course most importantly how to ask for a beer! The workshop was lead by fellow VSO-er Hannah and was very interactive. We finished up with a soda and a cake and signed goodbyes. The costs were met by money from our Justgiving site, so many thanks to all who contributed.
