The group is compromised of the youth and the elderly, and although they may have age differences, they share something in common: they are determined to learn sign language. The lot is headed to the Kenya National Library, Nakuru branch where they occupy space at the American corner.

The team drawn from various parts of Nakuru town patiently waits for an instructor to pick up the day’s lesson. One by one, they present their assignments to Jane Ndung’u, the sign language teacher and librarian.
