When a deaf 15-year-old boy finally learns to speak, what does he say?

Check out this short video of a Ugandan teenager just 10 weeks into a sign language program.

Channel 4

Born without hearing, Patrick Otema has spent his life in silence. 

But one day, a sign language teacher showed up in his Ugandan village. It turns out 15-year-old Patrick has a lot to say – and now he has a way to say it, reports British TV Channel 4's "Unreported World." 

Watch the video to the end. You'll be glad you did.

The "Unreported World" follows Patrick and the work of a Sign Health Uganda, a UK-based charity dedicated to making sure deaf people get the same sort of access as hearing people to healthcare and health information.

In the original reporting about this program, "15 and Learning to Speak," Unreported World followed the inspirational work of the sign language teachers transforming the lives of deaf children and adults in Uganda who had never been able to communicate before.

Dear Reader,

About a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”:

“Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.”

If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.

But you know what? We change lives. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in.

The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908.

We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re about kicking down the door of thought everywhere and saying, “You are bigger and more capable than you realize. And we can prove it.”

If you’re looking for bran muffin journalism, you can subscribe to the Monitor for $15. You’ll get the Monitor Weekly magazine, the Monitor Daily email, and unlimited access to CSMonitor.com.
