Let’s bridge the gap on Talk Sign Day
Schools and corporates are encouraged to buy Talk Sign stickers for R10 each and to wear them on Talk Sign Day, 9 March.
DIARISE Talk Sign Day on Friday, 9 March and ‘bridge the gap’ by adopting Talk Sign at your school or business.
The Talk Sign campaign, an initiative of the KwaZulu-Natal Blind and Deaf Society, is now in its fifth year and is aimed at ensuring that all people in society, school children in particular, become aware of Sign Language, of the plight of Deaf people, of the need for Deaf people to communicate and to raise money for their cause.
Schools and corporates are encouraged to buy Talk Sign stickers for R10 each and to wear them on Talk Sign Day, 9 March. A very exciting development is that the Society has just launched their first ever Sign Language guide, Talk Sign 1, that can be ordered for only R165 (plus R60 courier fee).

“We are also encouraging people to do an activity on Talk Sign Day to show support for people who are Deaf. Our staff, Deaf clients and Sign Language interpreters are available to do a twenty-minute, interactive presentation at schools and businesses in the lead up to the day. During this presentation, five phrases will be taught in Sign Language,” said Shamila Surjoo, Director of the KZN Blind and Deaf Society.
To place a bulk order for stickers to sell at school or work, or to set up a presentation, contact Chrisantha on 031 309 4991, admin3@bdskzn.org.za or visit www.talksign.co.za.
