Deaf Refugees

Olathe pastor helps deaf refugees communicate

The Rev. Debbie Buchholz runs a program for deaf refugees out of her Olathe church. Hard of hearing herself, Buchholz frequently leads American Sign Language classes for the refugees, a task that is made more challenging because many of the refugees are illiterate in both English and their native language.
