To whom it may concern,
My name is Seleena and I am a prisoner in WA. While being incarcerated, I have learnt how many members of the community are Deaf and have a lot of trouble communicating as very few people know how to use sign language.
I am aware of how many Indigenous families have Deaf family members and the embarrassment that comes along with it when people can’t communicate with their family.
I would love to be part of spreading awareness and learning Auslan myself, as I only know the bare essentials. I have at least 10 more years in prison and would like to run some programs with girls willing to learn.
If there is any information or starter packs you could provide I would be very grateful.
Thank you for your time,
Seleena
