Indonesian Fingertalk Cafe Employs Deaf People

VIDEO: Deaf News: Deaf Cafe Fingertalk - A first-of-its-kind cafe hires and empowers the Deaf in Jakarta, Indonesia.





JAKARTA -- Deaf Cafe Fingertalk: Frisca Carolina Loho, 25, possesses skills in cooking, sewing, computer design, home repairs and Balinese traditional dancing. However, the woman, who previously lived in Denpasar, Bali, and Cimahi, West Java, said that finding a stable job was a challenge due to fierce competition.





“I have learned a variety of skills so I can take on different jobs. But there are a lot of people without disabilities who can also do such jobs,” she told The Jakarta Post via an interpreter at her new workplace, the Fingertalk Cafe and Workshop, on Jl. Pinang 37, East Pamulang, South Tangerang, Banten province.

Deaf Can Coffee - Jamaican TV Commercials

VIDEO [CC] - Deaf Can Coffee: Deaf teenagers uses sign language in Jamaica Company television commercials.



KINGSTON -- The Caribbean Christian Centre for the Deaf went into the coffee business. The students from the "Deaf Can Coffee Company" make your favourite flavors of coffee for every occasion and moment.



A video capturing the purpose and vision of Deaf Can Coffee, a not-for-profit coffee shop seeking to engage, equip and empower Deaf youth. We will accomplish this through a sustainable coffee venture known for a memorable experience, great product and talented staff.





What began as a small idea of packaging and selling coffee for a rural, Deaf coffee farmer grew as word spread and people wanted more. However, one farmer could not meet the demand and so we considered options to increase the supply of roasted coffee. From there we began roasting coffee at the Kingston campus of Caribbean Christian Centre for the Deaf in an effort to train and expose teen students to the art of coffee roasting.

The challenges of sourcing dry beans and getting licensed in Jamaica as a coffee brand soon became a barrier that we thought might stop the initiative completely. The vision, however, simply shifted from being all about roasting coffee to a focus on brewing the coffee as well and creating a completely new experience for the marketplace.
