Webmaster's comment: They contacted me and said that they had experience working with "deaf, dumb and blind travel".

Bendeck, G. (2205, November 21). GW Expat: The quietest KFC in Cairo. As we saddled up to the counter to place our heart attacks, the gentleman manning the cash register had me point at what I wanted, fanned his mouth asking if I wanted it hot or not and pointed at the receipt to show me how much I owed. I was a little surprised; most restaurant employees in Cairo speak English. It was only when he clapped loudly to get my attention that I realized I wasn't in any KFC. I was in the only deaf KFC in Cairo.

Deaf school, Cairo. The Deaf Unit is part of the work of the Anglican Diocese of Egypt, which also oversees several other projects. There are three main areas of work at The Deaf Unit. The first is a school, the second is a vocational training centre and the third is a deaf club. Whilst everyone is encouraged to pay for the services offered by The Deaf Unit, no one in genuine need is turned away.
Mittler, P. International experience in including children with disabilities in ordinary schools. This paper was originally prepared for a meeting organised by UNICEF to stimulate discussion on the possibilities of inclusion in Tunisia. It was written in response to a request to provide examples of countries where inclusive policies were being implemented.

Abstract: The work presented in this paper aims to developing a system for automatic translation of gestures of the manual alphabets in the Arabic sign language. The proposed system uses Discrete Fourier Transforms on the global pulse signal of a pulse-coupled neural network (PCNN). We describe the mathematical model of the (PCNN) and an original way of analyzing the pulse of the network in order to achieve scale and translation-independent recognition for isolated gestures.
