He is one of the first sign language interpreters in Tanzania.  <\/p>\n<p>&#8216;It all started back in early 1997. Together with others in my community, I was building a chapel. A deaf teenager came by and wanted to talk and get help to pray,&#8217; Johanthan says via email from Dar es Salaam.  <\/p>\n<p>&#8216;At first we wrote everything down, but after a few months I got tired of all the writing and asked the young man if there were any other ways we could communicate? Sure, I could just learn sign language!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As they say, it&#8217;s done. Jonathan took his first courses in April and August 1997, and since then he has done countless sign language interpreting assignments.<\/p>\n<p>Jonathan is on the executive board of the Tanzanian Association of Sign Language Interpreters TASLi and has been working with CICED since 2014.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;The projects with CICED and CHAVITA are a tremendous help in improving sign language interpreting. I have learned a lot myself and am now able to teach sign language courses as well. There is a long way to go before we can be satisfied with the level of sign language interpreting in Tanzania, but I think we are well on our way&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>Like Dickson Mveyange from CHAVITA, Jonathan Livingstone points to the need to have sign language standardized and have sign language recognized on an equal footing with other languages in Tanzania.  <\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Skilled sign language interpreters will play a very important role in breaking the exclusion of deaf people in society. With high-quality sign language, we can help show that deaf people can take an active part in society,&#8217; Jonathan concludes.<\/p>\n<p>TASLI, CHAVITA and CICED are working together to develop a project focused on getting sign language recognized on an equal footing with other languages in Tanzania.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The need to pray with a deaf person was the start of a career as a sign language interpreter By: Johnny Baltzersen, CICED&nbsp; The name is Jonathan Livingstone.
