Your name. You are not Anne.

[Boy] Yours, yours, yours.
[Teacher] What does that mean?
[Girl] "Beautiful"
[Teacher] Yeah, beautiful.
She's very good in taking in the sign language.
It's very important to have because she can now be communicating to other people.
While she was at home there was no sign language being taught there.
Are you happy, happy, happy, happy, happy?
[Child, signing] I'm happy to be at school.
[Teacher speaking and child signing] True.
Everyday... you... come... school.
Yes.
[Jenny Nilsson signing + interpretation] These six year olds are so happy to finally be able
to express themselves and communicate with others.
It i only by learning sign language that deaf children can fully communicate.
Today, deaf children and young people worldwide are too often denied their right to education.
This is because of a lack of teachers well-trained in sign language
and a lack of awareness by parents that their children can and have a right to go to school. (1:19)
