Dear Sirs!
It is with great pleasure that
I write to thank you personally
for accepting the use of SignWriting
in your school for deaf children.
SignWriting is a new idea. There
are, presently, 27 countries
trying it for the first time.
And I feel very honored indeed,
that Saudi Arabia and the Arabic
Nations are among them.
I
am particularly impressed with
teacher Mohamed Ismail Mahmod
Abushaira, for his patience
and untiring devotion to translating
the SignWriting instruction
manuals into Arabic and Arabic
Sign Language. This is a major
task and I am quite delighted
that he was able to give me
such excellent files!
I will now post them on our
SignWriting Web Site. I hope
you will visit:

As
you know, several years ago,
Saudi Arabian Abdul Aziz Al-Obaid
was interviewed about SignWriting.
There is a web article that
includes Abdul Aziz's interview,
along with a photograph of H.R.H.
Prince Bandar Bin Sultan Bin
Abdulaziz, the Saudi Arabian
Ambassador to the United States:

If
there is anything that you need
to further help your Deaf students
learn SignWriting, please tell
me.
Many
blessings,
Assalamu alaikum!
