I rec'd When Silence Calls as part of a giveaway. This story is a biography of Dennis Drake. He was a normal guy who joined the Peace Corps. After his service ended he stayed behind and continued to serve the deaf community of the Philippines. He taught sign language, built schools, and opened up job training centers for the first time giving hope to the deaf community. Drake's story is one that individuals who are disabled can succeed if given a chance and they can remain in their home country. I rec'd When Silence Calls as part of a giveaway.
