Coco Roschaert is a young deaf-blind woman who has Usher Syndrome. She travels around the world and makes videos of her experiences.

In this video, she is visiting the Isle of Skye in Scotland with a group of people who are backpacking. The rest of the group went to hike up another mountain, so she decided to climb this hill all by herself. She is very happy when she reaches the top of the steep hill without help!

If you would like to learn more about the Isle of Skye, you can visit this web site: http://www.skye.co.uk/

In the news....
 
James Duthie was a deaf factory worker who lived in the country of Scotland. In 1951, he decided to ride a bicycle from his home 3,000 miles to the Arctic Circle. This bicycle journey took him 3 months. While he traveled, he wrote in a diary to tell about his experiences. The diary was published and was named, "I Cycled Into the Arctic Circle".

James’ nickname was "Dummy Jim", and you can now read his story on a web site: www.dummyjim.com

Two men from Scotland, Olly Rundell and Alex South, are riding their bicycles and following the same route that James followed. They are using this journey to raise money for the National Deaf Children’s Society in the UK and also to make a movie about James’ diary.
