Interview with Kevin Pacheco, March, 2001
Email, FEBRUARY 22, 2001
Dear Emily,
This is Kevin here. I don't know what to say? I guess talk about
myself: I come from Hoopa, Ca. I work with AmeriCorps Service for 1
year. I have no interpreter. I only need an interpreter for meetings. I
don't need that for work. I just write a note with some members and I
taught some members some basic sign language like: "work,
breaktime, what, where, why, toilet, see you later, bye, and hi".
I can read lips a little bit, not long sentences just two or three
words. So anyway, that's it. I don't have anything to say now. thanks-I
got to go back to work. ciao
