Here’s a nice video to end the week.
Two members of staff from the charity Water Aid post a video (with subtitles and a BSL interpreter) thanking the Deaf community for all the donations that have poured in from people taking the water challenge.
Then they take the challenge themselves. Take a look.
Remember, it’s easy to contribute – just text WATER to 70007 to donate £3 to WaterAid.

I hope it will also encourage those who didn’t do it for charity to actually donate and help the many people out there who need clean and safe water. I saw a lot of people demanding stupid things for themselves like drinks or food… make it worthwhile. It doesn’t have to be very much money.

The fact that staff at Water Aid noticed ‘DeafWaterDumping’ means a lot to those of us who signed onto donations via the Water Aid website.
One question in the website’s process asked why we joined, so in my case – naturally – I told them why, so must many other Deafies. Thanks for bringing us real acknowledgement, staff at Water Aid!
