Please help Jean to raise money for establishing a website, blogs, write books and to preserve our Deaf History and Sign Language. I just used a loan for a new desktop and paying back. Not enough income for this project. Why am I doing this? There are many people don't know about our Deaf culture, sign language and history in New Zealand.

We are raising our signs as our voice for our equal right.

Maybe you have spare glass jars for the group to create all sorts of preserves as well.
