The book ‘Tekens uit Nepal’ [Signs from Nepal), illustrated by students of The Kavre Deaf School in Nepal, depicts the world of deaf people living in one of the poorest countries in the world.
In Nepal there deafness is a taboo, despite the fact that a large percentage of the population is deaf. The future of a deaf child is almost hopeless. It is an informative and friendly book that outlines the situation of students of the Kavre Deaf School.
The book contains drawings made during my art classes there in 2012.
