Community Horizons

This semester, I had the privilege of beginning to learn Chinese sign language. It is really neat to learn about the community of the hearing impaired in China, make friends in their subculture, and broaden my community horizons! Here are some images from the last class when students from the special education school came over to help us with our sign language. It was really fun to be able to converse with students in their own heart language! Some of these students had never before met a foreigner, so it was a great honor and privilege to be able to have acquaintance with them and learn about their worlds! May God bless the hearing impaired community in China and around the globe!
