A title "You will be more suprised now" - Copyright(c)2008.IslingtonDeafCampaign

Hello. My name is Betty. I am a chairperson.

One thing surprised - A big Good News! When I went on the holiday for three weeks. A letter was placed at the desk for a while. Do not know what the letter contain until I come back to arrive my home. I asked myself "What is that?" A postmark from Charity Commission. I open the letter and it stated 5th August 2008.

I am very pleased IDC has passed!! IDC has been passed!! It become a registered Charity! The number is 115... No, sorry... 1125364...Yes.

Now it is registered and spread to the public, now it is on Internet. It is spreading everywhere that IDC is first Deaf Charity recorded in the history in Islington! In long history, there were deaf groups in Islington but never registered as a Charity. Nothing.

Now IDC has progessed to achieved lots of steps. I am very pleased I really took as a vision. I really want to say thank you to all deaf community for support to IDC, and in return IDC strongly support to them! I thank you to all of our Trustees has been confident and I wish to congratrations to all of them. They can! They can look inside within themselves exploring that they have confidence they can do it! Do not matter their intelligence whether they are highly or low. Do not matter! All are human beings!

I like to raise as a topic. I WISH...LIKE I REALLY WISH DEAF TRADITIONS SUCH AS DEAF CULTURE, SIGN LANGUAGE TO PASSED IN STEPS IN STRONG SENSE IN A LONG WAY. That is what I wish it to be happen.

I am really happy everyone Deaf can be confident saying "I can do it!" and move forward. When this happens, in future the society/social will be improved greatly.

Deaf genes - we keep deaf genes Why? In the future within deaf tradition sense.

I am really pleased! Thank you! In next time periods, we will continue to get IDC growing bigger. Now I am really happy!

Within my own heart, I will give to you deaf community to be more confidence.

Ah, I forget to mention extra information. I wish to discuss few points now.

I aim:

1. Deaf Children to learn and communicate in Sign Language better in Education.

2. Old people will get better access for their better health

3. I need to get BSL (British Sign Language) Charter to be adopted and passed. I want this.

Now I have look back and wondered. Oh yeah it is really important to focus on deaf children and also protect themselves how to be Deaf (independently sense). Need to focus on that. Mothers and Fathers do not know how to protect/communicate deaf children. Both sides kept missing information on two way communication. This become an issue affecting deaf children's psychological implications.

These visions I want to achieve.

I have research and read the International Treaty on Human Rights - Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC). Now researching and will soon annouce on the Blog with information in BSL, again on the Blog.

See you soon! Bye!
