Mission
His Hands Reader - Helping deaf and hearing in developing countries to read so they can read His Word. An estimated fifty million (50,000,000) deaf in the world can not read.
Description
His Hands Reader (HHR) project enables hearing and deaf volunteers in developing countries to make a video dictionary and reading primers using their own text language and hand signs. These videos aid in learning to read English, the local business language and local native language with hand sign assist.
