Daniel Jillings, a 12-year-old British boy who happens to be deaf, has just hit his crowdfunding target of £4000 on Crowdjustice.com to make sign language a GCSE subject! In his video statement for Metro.co.uk, Daniel explains that he uses British Sign Language (BSL) as his first language in regular life and education.
