Dialogue: 0,0:00:59.45,0:01:03.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It is only by learning sign language that deaf children can fully communicate.

Dialogue: 0,0:01:10.62,0:01:14.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This is because of a lack of teachers well-trained in sign language
Dialogue: 0,0:01:14.98,0:01:20.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and a lack of awareness by parents that their children can and have a right to go to school.

Dialogue: 0,0:01:29.81,0:01:34.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So it is a mother language that helps them to communicate with others.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:34.34,0:01:37.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So without this it means the communication will be at zero.

Dialogue: 0,0:02:09.40,0:02:16.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is similar to the trades... whereby they came to trade. Okay?
Dialogue: 0,0:02:16.06,0:02:18.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Understand well.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:18.38,0:02:21.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's possible for the deaf to learn anything,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:21.65,0:02:28.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but what should happen is that they should have people who can communicate to them very well.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:28.81,0:02:31.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,People who can use sign language.

Dialogue: 0,0:02:40.49,0:02:46.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The teachers come here and they teach very well and I understand.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:46.60,0:02:50.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,[Elizabeth Gituku] It is very important that we have learning opportunities
Dialogue: 0,0:02:50.81,0:02:55.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so that they also join the other citizens in careers
Dialogue: 0,0:02:55.03,0:02:59.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that will make them stand on their own, make them independent
Dialogue: 0,0:02:59.45,0:03:01.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and also support their own families.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:01.66,0:03:04.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,[Signing and interpretation] I wish to become a teacher

Dialogue: 0,0:03:26.98,0:03:32.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,[Signing and interpretation] For example, myself, I struggled very hard to get accounting.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:32.49,0:03:36.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I had passed well in the mathematics, but there was no college which was accepting me.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:36.97,0:03:42.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,[Signing and interpretation] So if I go to the university and I find that there is no interpreter,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:42.94,0:03:45.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I will look for a person who can help me to interpret
Dialogue: 0,0:03:45.89,0:03:56.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because it is hard for me to follow something which is happening without an interpreter
Dialogue: 0,0:03:56.07,0:03:59.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or that... if the teacher is not using sign language.

Dialogue: 0,0:04:19.98,0:04:29.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If I have a question, I write it down and pass it to this person who is hearing
Dialogue: 0,0:04:29.61,0:04:33.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and will ask the lecturer to explain.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:33.83,0:04:42.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,[Speaking softly] We are set back because we... our disability only affects the ear, not the mind.

Dialogue: 0,0:05:02.68,0:05:06.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,[Signing and interpretation] Being denied the human right to education in sign language
Dialogue: 0,0:05:06.50,0:05:08.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,has long-term consequences.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:08.45,0:05:13.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If deaf children do not develop the ability to communicate, they are unable to learn
Dialogue: 0,0:05:13.36,0:05:16.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and get jobs and are isolated within their communities.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:16.37,0:05:26.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,[Signing] {\i1}I love to learn sign language.{\i0}
