When Rachel returned from Ghana in 2008, she brought home some beautiful fabrics from different cities in Ghana: Accra (the capital), Mampong (where the School for the Deaf is located), and Aburi. Rachel used the fabrics to create three beautiful quilts, which are being auctioned on eBay to help support Signing Time Foundation’s Operation Ghana 2012 with Signs of Hope International. The funds will be used to help deaf children in Ghana attend the School for the Deaf where they can learn sign language. The quilt auction ends on January 12th. Bid now!

Why I want to go to Ghana – by Ellie Brumett (age 14)
I want to go to Ghana because it’s a good experience. I also want to improve the lives of the deaf kids in Ghana as much as I can. I have been interested in Sign Language ever since I was little. My mom taught me a lot and so did Signing Time. It was very cool in 2005 when I met Leah Coleman at the Signing Time Family Camp. We became instant friends.
As our friendship has developed over the years so have my signing abilities. Having Leah as a friend has really encouraged me to learn more ASL. I am happy that I get to go with Rachel and Leah (and my mom) to Africa. I have a lot of Deaf friends here in Minnesota that I enjoy signing with and I think it is amazing that kids in Ghana have a chance to learn sign language! I am looking forward to talking with them and seeing their view of the world. I have never been out of the USA, so I am scared, but I’m mostly excited to go on this wonderful trip.
