Meetings in Hong Kong
5-9 March 2008

 

The Nippon Foundation funded a multi-year project to develop small dictionaries of practical sign language in four countries: the Philippines, Hong Kong, Vietnam, and Cambodia.  Phase 1 of this project ended in December, 2008, and a representative from each of the countries was invited to a meeting at Chinese University in Hong Kong, the administrative center for the project. The dictionaries produced so far were displayed, and Phase 2 of the project was discussed.

Charlie Dittmeier and Chea Sokchea flew to Hong Kong on the night of 5 March. Sokchea, a deaf sign language researcher, was the presenter for the Deaf Development Programme, and Charlie was her interpreter.
