Hands for Vietnam

Hands for Vietnam is a non-profit organization that exists to provide sign language training and resources for Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing people in Central Vietnam, as well as to the communities that support them. Jeff Haney serves as the Executive Director of Hands for Vietnam. His interest in sign language began in high school, and he went on to complete both his Bachelor and Master degrees in Deaf Education at the University of Tennessee. Jeff has worked as a deaf educator in a public high school, a free-lance sign language interpreter, an insurance agent, and Manager of Bread of Life, a restaurant employing deaf people in Da Nang, Vietnam. Since moving to Vietnam, he has become an avid mountain biker who likes to say he has “biked places no foreigner has ever seen.” Jeff’s love for God, his family, and the deaf people of Vietnam motivate his work daily.
