interpreters and support the joint work with the National Federation
of the Deaf of Colombia.

International Inclusion Symposium organized by the Cooperative
University of Colombia UCC, was held with an attendance of
more than 180 people of the entire eastern region of the country,
Debra, presented her research on the experience of Deaf children's
education mediated by Sign Language Interpreters showing the

Directors of the new Colombian Federation of Sign Language
Interpreters, whose acronym is FENILC.

President’s
words
Debra Russell
Dear Members and WASLI Supporters,
Over the past few weeks your board
members have been focused on our goals,
one of which is to offer training at the
regional level. Here is a snapshot of what
your volunteer board has been up to:
Nigel Howard, Megumi Kawakami, and
Susan Emerson provided an International
Sign Interpreting workshop in conjunction
with the Asian WFD Regional Secretariat
in early May.
I s a b e l R e y, o u r L a t i n A m e r i c a n
representative has been holding her regular
meetings with the Latin American and
Caribbean interpreter associations and
recently travelled to Uruguay to encourage
that interpreter association to join WASLI
and to support the on-going professional
development of interpreters in that country.
Jose Ednilson and Debra both presented in
Colombia on May 03 & 05 drawing
attention to interpreter's work in education
and in television. While in Bogota, Debra
held several meetings with INSOR, the
national institute of the Deaf, the national
Deaf association, FENESCOL, and the
Universidad Sergio Arboleda, which was a
chance to meet with many Deaf community
comments and raise awareness of WASLI
and our cooperation with WFD.
Congratulations to our colleagues in
Colombia for creating a new national
association called FENILC – we look
forward to welcoming you as a new
national member of WASLI! Thank you all
for your warm welcome and the hard work
to host such amazing events!
Susan Emerson and Angela Murray are
very busy supporting the Oceana regional
conference planning group – WASLI will
also hold its face to face board meeting
there in August 2018.
Liz Scott Gibson met with the Kingdom of
Saudi Arabia interpreters in April, offering
support and ideas on building an effective
interpreter association. Debra and Nigel
Howard, Deaf Interpreter Advisor travelled
to Sharjah to present on interpreters
working in health care, emphasizing the
important role Deaf interpreters can play in
medical settings.
I also hope that many of you are turning
your attention to WASLI 2019. For those
planning to attend our conference, we are
excited to welcome the world to Paris. If
you are not able to attend, I hope you will
consider making a donation to support
delegates from other countries. There are
many countries that will be very challenged
to attend given the costs of registration,
travel and accommodation. Liz Scott
Gibson and I are raising funds to bring two
interpreters from North Korea to Paris, and
I challenge you to come together with
colleagues and sponsor a delegate from
Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean,
and Asia. Grab ten friends and make a plan
– small fundraisers, large fundraisers,
every contribution helps. There are many
RID chapters, for example, and it would be
wonderful if each chapter could commit to
sponsor one delegate – imagine the
amazing learning for an interpreter from
Guatamala, Brazil, Saudi Arabia, Angola,
Tanzania, South Africa, Sudan, India,
Pakistan and so on to participate in a world
conference. We have seen our delegate
sponsorship change lives, with interpreter's
empowered with learning and support to
help develop interpreting in his or her home
country.
Over the next 12 months, there is much to
do to plan our conference and if you are
interested in volunteering some of your
time and talent, please be in touch with
Michelle Ashley, our conference chair. The
call for papers has gone out in English and
International Sign and the program
decisions will be made in August. Our
venue, University Paul Decartes is
centrally located on the metro line, so you
can book accommodation to suit your
budget anywhere in Paris. The dates of our
conference are July 16-19, 2019!
Our collaboration with FIT has taken new
steps, and we are working on developing
shared resources for countries interested in
creating codes of conduct for interpreters,
as well as training resources to support
interpreters working with refugee
communities. Thank you to Alexandra
Jantscher from Austria for her commitment
and energy to our shared work plan.
Our WFD-WASLI International Sign
advisory committee has also begun to look
at the next steps of improving access to our
accreditation process and the development
of a dispute resolution process, after
completing a code of conduct for all
accredited interpreters in January of this
year.
Finally, thank you to the volunteer
International Sign translation group being
led by Steven Surrency of the US. We
appreciate your work so much in helping us
translate many of our documents into IS to
reach a broader audience.
If you have questions or comments for the
board, please email me any time at
president.wasli@gmail.com. And to each
interpreter that continues to help us build
WASLI, thank you for your volunteer
efforts!
If you have any questions or comments,
please email me any time at

International Sign Interpreting Training
by Noriko Miyazawa
From 11th to 13th May, International Sign Interpreting Training
organized by WFD and WASLI Asia was held in Macau, and it was the
first time to have the training in the Asian region. 29 people (15 deaf
and 14 hearing) from 10 countries and regions who are responsible for
various works, sign language interpretation, guidance for local sign
language interpreters, information provision to deaf people
participated in the training.
The three lecturers, Mr. Nigel Howard, the Deaf Interpreter Advisor,
Ms. Susan Emerson, International Sign Interpreter (both WASLI
Directors), Ms. Megumi Kawakami who is qualified as a RID
Certified Deaf interpreter and currently works at the information
provision center in Okinawa, Japan, taught us a variety of values and
lifestyles in a theoretical and easy-to-understand way for us.
In the training, I learnt a lot from them through the scene of discussion,
workshop, and actual interpretation. They also taught us the
importance of international signboard interpreters that respect the
sign language of each country, individuals, and the region,
understanding the cultural differences and value ethics as a sign
language interpreter.
At the opening ceremony on May 12th, Mr. Shimamoto, WFDRSA
Director, gave an opening speech, Mr. Colin Allen, WFD President,
And What about Signing Avatars?
WFD and WASLI have jointly developed a statement to express
our concern about the way in which decisions on where and
when to use signing avatars as a form of access to spoken or
written content is being managed by public authorities. As
signed languages are fully-fledged languages with their own
complex structures that are distinct from spoken languages, a
word-to-sign exact translation is not possible because any
translation needs to consider the context and the cultural norms.
The difference in linguistic quality between humans and avatars
is why WFD and WASLI caution against the use of signing
avatars as a replacement for human signers. Whilst the
technology has progressed and offers real potential for wider
NEWS
Dr. Debra, WASLI President, Ms. Umemoto, WASLI Asia
representative, sent us video messages and Mr. Low, President of the
Macau Deaf Association gave us a welcome message. After that,
representatives of each country and region went up to the stage and
took a memorial photo. I felt that "International Sign" makes
everyone's heart one when I saw the world map drawn on the wall
which the Asian countries were placed on the center of it.
In addition to having the international sign training itself, I think that
making the network among the Asian countries was also the
important theme for us. Beyond the differences in cultures and
customs, we became friends or cooperators who are making effort to
develop the Asian region with a common keyword "International
Sign". Even at the break time or after the training, we talked a lot
about each other's works, interpreter trainings, cultural differences,
our future, and so on.
Noriko Miyazawa said: “Thanks to WFD, WASLI, WASLI Asia,
three lecturers, and the Macau Deaf Association, I was able to spend a
fulfilling time. Thank you very much. We continue to learn in each
country and look forward to the reunion. I hope the more people will
act as international interpreters in worldwide scene”.
use of signing avatars, these computerised products do not
surpass the natural quality and skill provided by appropriately
trained and qualified interpreters and translators.
To date, machine translations have yet to emulate the human
ability in creating a live interpretation (spoken or signed).
Computer generated machine translations cannot render
culturally appropriate translations as would be provided by live
interpretations from a human sign language interpreter.

advise on how and when to determine appropriate use of signing

LUCY LIM
Sign Language Interpreter and Leader in Malasya
E-mail:
1. Thanks for agreeing to share with our readers a bit about your
journey to interpreting and working with Deaf people. Tell me how
you got started.
Lucy: While waiting for the results of the Malaysian National Exam to
be released, my sister asked me to volunteer at the Selangor School for
the Deaf. At the church, there was a plea for more volunteers from Mr.
Tan Yap, founder of the Deaf school. Having volunteered there for 3
months, I decided to take up A levels. While in college I decided to
volunteer once a week at the YMCA and working with adults who have
never been to school. I did that for 2 years before commencing to work
full time after completion of A Levels. Then my parents passed away and
thus had no financial support to continue my education. So, I started
working with the YMCA Self Reliance Centre for the Deaf. Our focus
was on community and education for the Deaf community. We had a
support group for the Deaf Youths, parents, teens and children. I worked
in an advocacy role for a good 22 years with the YMCA and proud to see
how the Deaf Community has grown, building on strength to strength.
2. It sounds like working for the YMCA was
a wonderful opportunity for you and that's
how you and I first met!
Lucy: Yes, it really was. Working for the
YMCA has shaped my career and allowed me to
travel for work. Annually the YMCA's in the
Asia Pacific region (Malaysia, Singapore,
Thailand, Philippines, Hong Kong, Macau,
Japan, Korea, Australia, Taiwan) organize the
International Deaf Youth Camp (HH CAMP).
The camp is well attended with about 120- 150
participants and YMCA Staff/ Leaders. The
camps are held in rotation between some of
these countries. The camp provides opportunity
for Deaf youth to interact with one another, pick
up signs from the different countries and also for
us Interpreters to hone our skills with
International Sign (IS). Also as some of the
YMCA leaders are teachers of the Deaf- they
share their knowledge about the education,
employment etc. The programme has increased my knowledge and
provided the base for my interpreting skills.
3. You have played a key role in supporting interpreter and Deaf
Community development in Malaysia and the Asian region. I
would like you to describe that, please.
Lucy: I have always love to share, acquire knowledge about the Deaf
Community and the Interpreting community. After graduating from
Grant MacEwan College Interpreter Program in Edmonton, Alberta,
Canada, I came back to the region with the new found knowledge and
experience. I went all out to use my skills and knowledge. Some of
things I have carried out:
1. Workshops/ trainings about Interpreters, skills, roles etc., in Malaysia,
Philippines, Macau, Hong Kong, Singapore
2. Become a member of the University of Malaya Project on Malaysian
Sign Language Dictionary - was the resource person to seek
sponsorship, and Interpreter for the research team
3. As part of the project we did a video series on Folklore Stories for
Children
4. Produced the following resource materials & solicit sponsorship:
a) Sign the Deaf way
b) Signs for Children
c) Signs on Sexuality
INTERVIEW
d) Guide on Parenting of Children with Hearing Loss ((Writer/ Editor)
e) Understanding Deaf Culture: Malaysian Perspectives ( Editor/
Coordinator)
f) Employment for People with Disabilities & Entrepreneurship
handbook 2008 (Contributor)
5. Work with Malaysian Airlines to do the safety video and for the first
time having Deaf Signers instead of training “models” to copy sign
6. My career highlight and major contribution: Set up the Sign Language
Lab (First in Malaysia) for sign language students and aspiring
Interpreters to practice (Similar like the ones in Alberta that I had seen
during my training)
4. You have given so much as a community member and as an
interpreter. When you think about interpreters, what attributes do
you think are critical for an interpreter?
Lucy: Attitude – and the right attitude (not domineering and knowing
all) and build up on skills, experience, network with other Interpreters
and accumulate wealth of knowledge about Deaf people. You can't be a
“great and balanced Interpreter” if you lack
knowledge about the Deaf Community and
their experiences in medical, education,
employment, family situations and so on.
Other things:
a) Passion – In whatever you chose to do, do
well and with passion.
b) Have Deaf Mentor(s) – as they provide deep
insight on Sign Language and about the Deaf
Community
c) Further education in the field of Sign
Linguistics or about Interpreting.
d) Expose self to various settings in the
Interpreting line so that you will be engaged
and able to work well in those settings
e) Be respectful and be an Ally to the Deaf
rather than to make decisions about them.
f) Have good interpersonal skills
g) Set aside time for “out of interpreting time”
to bond and interact and join their activities-
attend weddings, join their hiking activities, pot lucks etc.
h) Have good stamina- go to the gym, workout for energy to interpret.
I) Love languages – interpreting is also about the use of terms/words in
different languages
5. Perfect – thanks for that wisdom! What do you see as the positive
changes in your region for Deaf and Interpreter communities right
now?
Lucy: The Deaf are more assertive and know that Interpreters are to be
provided for any event. Previously, the Deaf have to bring their own
Interpreters but now many of the Deaf have requested for the availability
of Interpreters be present for their workshops, talks or events. There is
more awareness in the community - previously the Deaf would only
attend or be invited to talks/workshops related to people with disabilities
and Deaf community. However, the Deaf Community are now exploring
and attending talks on entrepreneurship, multi-level marketing, and
more Deaf students are attending tertiary education at college or
university.
6. What more need to be done in your region?
Lucy: We need more Interpreter Training Programmes, making it an
occupation that the person can develop. Right now, there are not enough
“jobs” for Sign Language Interpreters thus a person would find it
difficult to depend on Interpreting alone as
their salary. We need to set up more University
Programmes, to train students as sign language

YMCA to the Singapore Cancer Society, where
I work full time. When I moved to work in
Singapore, the first thing I did was offer to
interpret for the Deaf at our many cancer
workshops that we organized for the public and
support groups. I had contacts with Singapore
Deaf community, managed to inform the Deaf
Community and about 10 deaf people attend
our workshops, and I work with local
interpreters like Evelyn and Claudine to co-
interpret them. I also was able to find Deaf
people living with cancer and offer support. As
our Society clinic offers free Pap Smear
screening at our Clinic, Deaf women can make
appointments and I interpret for them in their
interviews with the Nurse/ Doctor. We have
had a deaf woman join our Saturday walking
group, and now some of the hearing people in
support group are taking sign language so they
can offer peer to peer support with basic sign
language. As much as possible and whenever
possible, I try to provide some pro-bono
services in the community – Interpret for
Election rallies, Outdoor recreational activities
, even a trip to Bhutan! and occasionally for
students in the tertiary education like Malaysia,
some universities in Singapore cannot pay for
interpreters so I do some of that – if you don't,
you lose your sign!

9. Last words?
Lucy: be open, keep learning – every
interpreter you meet can teach you something.
Be passionate in what you do and treat
Interpreting as a professional job!

 INTERNATIONAL WEEK OF THE DEAF
23 to 30 September 2018
The theme shared between the International Day of Sign Languages (IDSL) and the International Week of the Deaf
(IWDeaf) is “With Sign Language, Everyone is Included!”

The IDSL has been adopted by the United Nations General Assembly to be celebrated annually on 23 September beginning in 2018.
Members of the International Deaf Community gather together during this time to promote the status of sign languages and the rights of
deaf people. Going forward, WFD will take the lead in promoting IDSL and IWDeaf one day of the week.

Inclusion and equal participation in society require sign languages to be accessible, respected and supported, all of which are
subsequently required to achieve any of the sustainable development goals established by United Nations.
