DEAFINTL Without E-mail


The most important mission of deafintl is to be a resource that deaf and hard of hearing people in developing nations can use to empower themselves. A few of them do have e-mail access, but most of them don't. That means some of the communities that could use deafintl the most don't have access to this mailing list. That's where you could come in. Help bring deafintl to people who don't have e-mail.
  1. Volunteer to print out hard copies of some or all deafintl posts and share them with people in developing countries who don't have e-mail access.
  2. If you are IN a developing nation, please try to share deafintl posts with deaf and hard of hearing people in your country in any way that you can.
  3. If you live somewhere else but you know someone from the deaf community in a developing nation who does not have e-mail access, you may print out hard copies of any or all deafintl posts to mail to them. (Hint: you can save on postage costs by printing on both sides of each page.)
  4. If you are planning a trip to a developing nation, you may want to print out some or all posts from the deafintl archives to bring with you and share with the deaf organizations you visit there. (Hint: even better, see if there is a way these organizations can get e-mail access so they can join deafintl directly.)
  5. If you know deaf people in developing countries without email access, please help them participate in deafintl as much as possible. Post to the list any questions, information, or comments that they give you for deafintl. If you do this, please clarify who wrote your post. You will be responsible for making sure that the posts from your contact people follow list rules.
