Sori and the Elders from Timbo, Guinea, in West Africa, recently visited Hartford,
Conn., the home of Thomas Gallaudet (1787-1851). Gallaudet,
the developer of American Sign Language, assisted Ibrahima in raising money for
his return home.

Today, (May 16, 2024), the delegation is scheduled to be
in Washington, D.C., where Ibrahima briefly stayed and gained the support of
President John Quincy Adams.

Mayor Dan Gibson joined the group in Hartford and he
plans to be with them in Washington.
