Dear Deaf BC, 

Hello! My name is Sarah Huang and I am the Operations Coordinator from Social Diversity for Children’s Foundation’s Youth Team. SDC is a registered non-profit charity that empowers youth to empower children with disabilities. They offer numerous programs targeted towards supporting children with disabilities and they aim to amplify the voices of young passionate leaders who believe in equal opportunity, regardless of ability. You can learn more about SDC here: https://www.socialdiversity.org/.

To support SDC’s mission, we are hosting an Operation: Sign and Shine Disability Justice Workshop. We are looking for an ASL instructor to volunteer their time and teach basic ASL to elementary students at our workshop. We were referred to your website and were wondering if you can upload a job posting for us onto your website. The job posting is attached below. It will be greatly appreciated if you can! 

Best regards, 

Sarah Huang

Housing Needed

 A Deaf Ukrainian family has arrived in Vancouver. One high school student and one elementary student will be enrolled at BCSD. They need temporary housing until they get jobs and find their own place. They must leave where they are right now on October 19th. 

Is there anyone in our beloved Deaf community, interpreters, and families, that would have space for 4 wonderful humans and a very small dog (Chihuahua) temporarily until they find their new home?

Please contact GVAD’s Ukraine Welcome Support Committee at deafukrainecommittee@gvad.com if you have ideas or any leads, ASAP.

Thank you.
