A kick-off event for Dave and Christy’s Around the World Adventure will take place tomorrow, SATURDAY OCTOBER 6, 2007, from 11 am to 1 pm at Rowe Photo, Buckmans Plaza, 2590 West Ridge Road, Rochester, NY 14626.

Dave Justice and Christy Smith plan to travel the world and seek out deaf people where they go. Here’s a description of their project from their website, Discovering Deaf Worlds:

“Using a High Definition video camera (Canon HV-10), Dave and Christy will be documenting and reporting their travel experiences from New Zealand, Australia, Japan, China, Thailand, India, Nepal, Kenya and any other stops they make along the way. They hope the connections they make, adventures they find, and stories they share will inspire others to challenge themselves to seek their own worldly experiences. Join Dave and Christy as they explore these international cultures from a visual perspective while meeting members of the Deaf, Hard of Hearing, and Hearing communities.”

For tomorrow’s kick-off event, you are invited to come hear the stories of Deaf natives from Europe, India, Africa, Asia, and elsewhere and learn more about Dave and Christy’s international video projects. Interpreters will be available. Refreshments will be provided.
