Transcript for Martha's video

Martha is sat down on chair and is wearing a t-shirt with cartoon characters drawn on it. She is facing the camera and signs the following:

My name is Mbeiza Martha. My sign name is that. I come from Jinja. I have learned skills, and got information from the Hub on Knitting, baking and hair dressing.

And also, communication for persons with deafblindness. I thank Sense International for the support of the hub.
