AFRICA - Building Deaf Bible Translation and Training Center in Kenya (on-going)
D.O.O.R. International is in the process of building a DEAF BIBLE TRANSLATION AND TRAINING CENTER just outside Nairobi, Kenya. A place where DOOR can develop, research and apply translation tools in a Deaf setting. The center will be able to facilitate 8 to 10 different sign language translation to be worked on at the same time. DOOR is encouraging and inviting "work teams" to come and help Wycliffe Associates build this facility. For more information, contact DOOR International.Sign language is the heart language of millions of Deaf people around the world. The sign languages of various countries are rich, vibrant, complex languages with essentially no written form. The spoken and written language of the country is usually Deaf people's second language, and most core Deaf people never develop fluency or effective literacy in it. So for over two millenium, most Deaf people have had no Bible in their own language.

Tales from Signtown
Enjoy the stories from Signtown
Author: Nick Sturley
Signer: Frank Essery
Red Riding Hood
Deaf Red Riding Hood's hearing Granny, who can sign a little, is feeling unwell, so Red Riding Hood sets off from her home in Signtown to visit her Granny at the other side of the Forest of Dean, wearing her favourite red cape and carrying a basket with a cake in it as a surprise. Along the way, she meets her best friend, Goldilocks, and they travel to Five Point Crossroads, north of Signtown, before going their separate ways. Soon afterwards, Red Riding Hood meets a seemingly charming Big Bad Wolf in the forest. Despite having been warned by her mother not to talk to strangers, Red Riding Hood falls under the charm of the preying wolf, who has something horrid in mind...

Goldilocks
After bidding goodbye to her best friend, Red Riding Hood, at Five Point Crossroads, Goldilocks strays off the path and soon gets lost near the Epee Mountains. She discovers a wooden cottage which belongs to a happy family of three bears: Large Father Bear, Medium Mother Bear (both hearing) and their proud Deaf son, Little Boy Bear. The bear family are out for a walk to allow their hot porridge time to cool down when Goldilocks, seeking for help, enters their house and decides to sample their three bowls of porridge, sit on their three chairs and then lie down on their three beds, where she promptly falls asleep. The three bears return to discover that they're not alone in the house...

Jack and the Beanstalk
Jack and his mother live in the far south of Signtown and are very poor and hungry; so hungry that Jack sometimes sneaks his school dinners out of Burwood High School to help feed his mother. They survive on milk from their only cow but when it stops producing milk, Jack takes it to Signtown’s main market to sell it for money to buy food. There, he meets a sly old man who exchanges the cow for some magic beans. Angry with Jack for his stupidity, his mother throws the beans out. The next day, outside their house, a huge beanstalk has grown all the way up into the sky. Jack climbs up it and sees a giant castle occupied by a sign language-hating ogre and his golden hearted wife. Jack soon discovers the castle is laden with gold and decides to steal the riches, but can he evade the ogre...?

Three Little Pigs
Signtown is so full that there is hardly any room left to build new homes in the town. On the advice of their mother, Pig Sow, the three little pigs decide to build their new homes outside Signtown. Pig Miles, the youngest of the three, loves straw and wants to build a house made of straw. Pig Miner favours wood and wants to build a wooden house. Pig Maginn, the oldest and smartest of the three, is a bricklayer and wants to build a brick house. But a familiar face, wanted by the Signtown police for a previous assault on Red Riding Hood and her grandmother, emerges and destroys Miles' straw and Miner's wooden houses with his infamous big blows. Can he outsmart Maginn, the smartest pig of all, in order to destroy his beloved brick house and gobble up all three little pigs...?
