Stories from deaf friends around the world

Autobiographies

Letter
Rupmani Chhetri
INDIA

It's me! I am . I was born in Nepal and now live in India. I am 26. I have two brothers and one sister.

When I was young, I studied at a primary school for deaf students in Kalimpong. My school was for girls only. Then I joined the high school in the Ghoom district of Darjeeling.

When I was 22, I moved to Delhi.I did not know sign language. I work at an NGO that advocates for childrens’ rights. I enjoy my job and the staff I work with.

I would like to meet more deaf people and learn Indian Sigh Language. I would like to return to Darjeeling and help other deaf people. The deaf people in Darjeeling need support. I am sad for them.

My favorite hobbies are modeling and dancing.

I hope you have a successful World Deaf Day.

Thanks to God. God bless you and our world of all deaf people. Praise the Lord!

Thank you very much for your kindness.

This video is about a clay animation workshop that took place in Norway. The narrator of the video is Braam Jordaan from South Africa.

Clay animation is sometimes also called "claymation". It is when an artist uses clay to make a movie. The artist makes a shape with clay and takes a picture. Then he changes the clay and takes another picture. He continues until he has taken many pictures. When the pictures are watched fast, it looks like the clay shapes are moving.

Braam Jordaan was born profoundly Deaf to Deaf parents in Benoni, Johannesburg, South Africa. He has achieved outstanding art recognition both locally and internationally. After graduating from TAS, he worked for several film and animation companies on high-end projects for BMW, Coronation, Nampak, Mitsubishi, Yardley, Musica, World Wildlife Fund, Rabea Tea, American Eagle and Graça.
