Where some might see a reason to give up, others find a reason to lead. When Samantha Hall became deaf in 1992, she took the occasion as a cue to direct her energies towards consciousness-raising and community-building enterprises. Now a student at Hood College, Samantha has founded Singing Hands, a deaf education program that uses music to teach American Sign Language to children and teenagers. A new summer sign language day camp and a sign club are the most recent inventions in her comprehensive effort to raise awareness of deaf culture and increase communication between deaf and hearing individuals.
