My name, uhm. Yours, yours, yours.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
[Boy] <i>Yours, yours, yours.</i>

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
[Teacher] What does that mean?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
[Girl] <i>"Beautiful"</i>

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
[Teacher] Yeah, beautiful.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
She's very good in taking in the sign language.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It's very important to have because she can now be communicating to other people.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
While she was at home there was no sign language being taught there.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Are you happy, happy, happy, happy, happy?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
[Teacher speaking and child signing] <i>True</i>.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
<i>Everyday... you... come... school</i>.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
<i>Yes</i>.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
[Jenny Nilsson signing + interpretation] These six year olds are so happy to finally be able

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to express themselves and communicate with others.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It i only by learning sign language that deaf children can fully communicate.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Today, deaf children and young people worldwide are too often denied their right to education.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This is because of a lack of teachers well-trained in sign language

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and a lack of awareness by parents that their children can and have a right to go to school. (1:19)
