Don't ask yourself what the world needs -- ask yourself what makes you come alive, and then go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.

The Coast and such
Scuba Diving close to Kilifi Thanks to Matt's underwater camera!
Thanks for sharing photos! Would love to have been a fly on the wall when Fort Jesus was being built... just imagine what it was like back in the early colonial era... and how differently we relate to local citizens as compared to how colonialists related in those days. Best, Mike
Hi. Nic Dominguez referred me to you. I hope you don't mind me posting here, but I have some materials that you might find helpful.
I work at Hesperian - you might know us because we publish a book called Where There Is No Doctor (a lot of Peace Corps volunteers use it in their work). I wanted to tell you about another book we publish called Helping Children Who Are Deaf (available for free download in its entirety, at www.hesperian.org).
Like Where There Is No Doctor, Helping Children Who Are Deaf is simply written, with plenty of helpful illustrations and activities from everyday life to help health workers, educators, and anyone else who’s interested to communicate with children who are deaf, assess what these children can and cannot hear, choose and learn/teach a language (sign or spoken), encourage social development, meet a deaf child’s needs in a school setting, form support groups, prevent child sexual abuse, prevent hearing loss, and more.
Please do pass this information on to your country director AND to your colleagues. If the volunteers find this free information useful enough, maybe the Peace Corps will consider sending this book to all their volunteers involved in deaf education. (It’s only $12.)
Thanks again, and my apologies if this note is intrusive.
Ingrid, once I get a stable connection I will check out the book. I have other book you mentioned, and enjoyed it.I will pass this information on to my APCD and hopefully, we can get this literature out by the time the new group of Deaf Education Volunteers gets here.
