Improving sign language communication in blended families
Blended Bridges 2023
We had an awesome Blended Bridges ASL Camp this past July! Five large families, each with a Deaf child, participated this year. One precious family of eight traveled all the way from Virginia to improve their signing skills for their Deaf son. We used games, music, art and other fun activities to learn sign language. Words cannot describe the joy we felt witnessing families growing closer together by learning an equally accessible language.
One mother shared this message after they arrived home from camp, "We went home super motivated to continue learning sign language and look forward to coming back next year!"
Another family sent this message, "We loved being able to communicate with members of the Deaf Community and seeing ASL all around us!"
Another family sent this message, "We loved being able to communicate with members of the Deaf Community and seeing ASL all around us!"
Memories were made and skills learned during the program that will stick with these families all of their lives. We could not have achieved our goals without the love and support of our sponsors, tutors, organizers, and all of our prayer warriors. A special thanks goes to Texas Roadhouse, Goldsboro NC, (for donating food), Sunrise Kiwanis, Goldsboro NC, (for funding our Bridges shirts), and all of our faithful partners who contribute each year. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
What an honor and privilege to be a part of such an incredible program. Seeing these families grow closer together, and learning more about God's love for them, makes every effort worthwhile.
