From my understanding, this great Deaf Balinese shared his experience regarding what education he has received from the past to where he is today. 

He stated that he didn’t have access to Deaf school in the past. He has decided to go another alternative way, which was studying with hearing family (it was clear that hearing family are educated). He has improved so much through years. The hearing family recognized and sent him to another Deaf family where he can study more. He studied and educated himself well. 

He emphasized that he was educated well through sign language, not attempted to learn through speaking. That’s the proof right there. We all need to continue encouraging everybody to educate their kids or students in sign language! 

Now there is a Deaf school, where they can learn Indonesian Sign Language (ISL) and interact with a larger community of deaf people in Indonesia. I learned that around five Deaf villagers in Bengkala are literate (able to write and read). Now they’re trying to change that! 

That’s powerful right there. 

Share this with your friends, loved ones, families, everyone else.
