      It wasn't a single person. There are many different sign languages and they each have a different history. They develop naturally any time enough deaf people are together. E.g. some sign languages actually started in schools for the deaf where there were no teachers that knew any kind of sign language. They would try to teach deaf kids to speak or to read and write or to do trades, but the deaf kids spent so much time together they started sharing their own gestures and eventually everyone in the school was using them and younger kids would learn them from older kids when they started school. Other sign languages evolved when there was a community that had a very high percentage of deaf people. It's like spoken languages though in that no one really 'invents' a language usually. It's just something that happens when humans spend time together.

    His skin is just so flawlessly beautiful!! I cannot stop looking at him how beautiful he is.. After seeing his first smile, my heart just opened even wider... I would LOVE to learn sign language.. Really thought about teaching myself.. After watching this, I'm definitely going to do it...
    This is why I want my husband to win the lottery.. He plays those ones with the numbers.. I don't care about living a life of luxury or carrying around a damn Prada.. I just want to help.. I just want to help so many people because I would just take their suffering so that they didn't have too! I've always been this way, my husband says that's what he loves so much about me but, I get so frustrated because I really can't do anything because MONEY is EVERYTHING!!!

    • @BriannaTerese

      Swnsasy _ you could always run a fundraiser. Name something you’re good at. Hold an event to teach people what you’re good at or have a “ladies night” doing something you enjoy. Donate the proceeds to a legitimate non-profit organization that gives money to these kids for education.

    • @BriannaTerese
      @BriannaTerese 6 лет назад +17

      Or as an alternative (idk how finances work in your household lol) you could tell your husband that for a year, instead of buying lottery tickets (like if he bought one every day on his lunch break), instead put that money into a donation jar. You could do that to. Like instead of buying your favorite soda everyday or something, put that money into the donation jar instead. 💁🏽‍♀️ Just some ideas! Every single penny counts. I think people get overwhelmed by the idea of charity and feeling inadequate to these rich people who write a $50,000 check. We all cant do that and it’s okay. And if money is still that tight, you could always reach out to the organizations to ask how you can help if you can’t give financially!

    • @BriannaTerese

I went to an deaf school last semester for some tour as a educational student in Sweden. There everyone gets very good care of but still I think everyone in Uganda has the same level of stunning points just as these kids and teachers in Sweden.

    im so emotional.. from the sadness of them living all those years no communication and now smiles and signing away :) i love this. our world needs to come together no matter the country we live in and culture and be there for each other. every deaf person where ever they live deserves to learn to communicate and express themselves. Ty all of you are angels and ty for reporting on this

    This channel is one of the best channels I've discovered on RUclips. The documentaries are well made. You get to discover parts of the world that's rarely talked about in mainstream US news on a micro level. I was a little shocked it only has 133,000 subscribers. I think it should be 10 times that number. Loved this documentary. Keep up the great work.

      Arie Fraiser this Channel is reposting things from a big U.K. TV station (channel 4). That is why it is high end and low followings. This station is the best of the U.K. imo.

    I cry every time I see this. Not just because of Patrick's transformation from a boy who was lost and trapped inside his own head, who was sad and defeated, to a boy whose face lights up with happiness and excitement and renewed hope where before there had been none. But for ALL of these students who not only gained the ability to communicate, who finally got a voice, but they also gained a community of people they could talk to and people like them who could understand each other. None of them had probably ever met someone else who was like them. Before this, Patrick and the other students were effectively alone in the world, and with gaining a voice and a community and being given, really for the first time, a name, they were no longer alone, shut off from everyone around them, they were a part of something.

    I never really thought about this. This is amazing. It’s really easy for as Africans living in capital cities and bigger towns to be ignorant to what a vast majority of our people go through. This is why this social media movement of 'Africans don’t live in huts and aren’t poor and hunger stricken’ really doesn’t sit well with me because um yes some of us do live in huts and there’s nothing wrong with that. A majority of our population lives below the poverty line which isn’t necessarily a bad thing as most of our people who live in the countryside live off the land.
    I don’t even know what I’m trying to say. This is really eye opening 👏🏾

Knowing they'd (his caretakers/parents etc) would of been able to teach him is actually awful and just sad. His whole life not being able to translate or talk to anyone nor explain how he feels or what he needs etc I can't begin to imagine how hard that would be for him.
