Deaf students in Iquitos, Peru visit the Amazon Community Animal Rescue./Los estudiantes sordos en Iquitos, Perú visita la Comunidad de Amazonas el Rescate Animal.

Local students from the Iquitos, Peru school for the deaf learn about the Amazon Community Animal Rescue program. Their teacher ,Patty, communicates with them using American Sign Language. Remember the term "deaf & dumb"? Sadly, in Peru, these children are still ostracized and viewed as "crazy". They loved visiting the dogs at our shelter camp.

We are excited about increasing our activities with these and other handicapped children.

Los estudiantes locales del Iquitos, la escuela de Perú para el sordo aprende acerca de la Comunidad de Amazonas el programa Animal del Rescate. Su maestro, la Empanada, comunica con ellos utilizando lenguaje por señas norteamericano. ¿Recuerda el término "sordo & mudo"? Tristemente, en Perú, estos niños todavía son excluidos y son vistos como "loco". Ellos adoraron visitar los perros en nuestro campamento del refugio.

Somos emocionados acerca de aumentar nuestras actividades con estos y otros niños disminuidos.

Deaf children are very alienated in Peruvian society. These children can not communicate with others. They are often ostracized in their own families. It looks like they were having a wonderful day in this picture!

Hi, amazonactivist

Nice image! People who called us "dumb and mute" Well, They are stupid, too. Just ignore what people says about us. In fact, I do not like the word of dumb and mute. Because deaf people can do anything. Of course, God gives us deaf and he loves us so much. Anyway, I wonder if deaf Peruvians do have their own sign language than American Sign Language? In 1970's to 1981, many teachers opposed sign languages in Lima. They taugh deaf Peruvians to learn how to speak. They were abused too much. Today, I do not know if there is a new Peruvian Sign Language to me. God bless you.

Hola, amazonactivist

Niza imagen! La gente que nos llamó "tonto y mudo" Bueno, son estúpido, también. Sólo hacer caso omiso de lo que la gente dice acerca de nosotros. De hecho, no me gusta la palabra de tonto y mudo. Dado que las personas sordas pueden hacer nada. Por supuesto, Dios nos da oídos sordos y nos ama tanto. Me pregunto si los peruanos sordos tienen su propio lenguaje de signos de lenguaje de señas americano? En la década de 1970 a 1981, muchos profesores se oponen a las lenguas de signos en la ciudad de Lima. Ellos taugh sordos peruanos para aprender a discurso. Se abusa demasiado. Hoy en día, no sé si hay un nuevo lenguaje de señas peruana para mí. Dios te bendiga.
