Carlos really wanted to experience the world cup and cheer for his team — Brazil — but he didn’t know how he could since he’s deaf and blind. In a wonderful coincidence, before Brazil’s last game, Carlos’s friend Helio who is also a sign language interpreter thought of some ways to adapt the televised soccer experience for Carlos.
Of course, Carlos was thrilled.
So throughout the game, Carlos held Helio’s hands and traced the ball’s action on a model field on their laps, while another friend signaled fouls, ball possession, players’ numbers and more on his back…
(The video demonstrating the whole process is fascinating but a bit long. If you just want to see a couple goals, jump ahead to 9:50.)
