Neville leaves on the 16th September for Egypt where he will be attending the DMI Conference in Alexandria, together with almost 200 delegates from around the world. Experiences within each participant's local deaf culture will be shared over the 5-days. Neville will also visit the Voice of Hope agricultural project in Cairo, followed by a trip down to the schools in Kenya & Uganda.

We are holding again another fund raising Christmas in July Dinner with Kerrin once more as our chef. One problem is that it is now August so instead of a Christmas in July Dinner it is called a Winter Christmas Dinner. The information is below and we would love to see you there if at all possible.

We are thrilled to announce the launch of our new website. Deaf Action is the overseas aid arm of Deaf Ministries International.

Thursday 29th Neville heads off to Myanmar with suitcases full of mosquito coils, clothes and other supplies. He hopes to get more accurate information after visiting the folk with whom we work and seeing first hand some of the damage done. We have no work in the Delta area, the worst hit so there is no need to go there. he is hoping to go to Kalay to visit the school if flights are operating.

There are probably very few people on earth who are not aware of the suffering and damage done to Myanmar by cyclone Nagris which tore through the country some weeks ago. 130,000 dead, many missing and indescribable damage. Deaf people have been numbered with those who have lost life and property. Deaf Action's school for the deaf missed the brunt of the storm as it located in the north but the centre of our work was not so fortunate.
