"I honestly envy anyone who has the time to do something like this."

You don't have 20 spare minutes of your week to do this?

Christian missionaries setting up shop in 'undeveloped' nations usually pass out hundreds of these, with records that will play recordings of the new testament.

Joufy, one of the reasons deafness gained the stigma it did was BECAUSE of Bell. He was one of the reasons they became increasingly seen as an 'ethnicity' that would not integrate into American society (for having e.g. their own newspapers, churches, language), and he contributed a good bit to the idea of signed languages being inferior imitations of actual, human language. As for him "doing more for deaf people in modern times than anyone else," you're seriously putting him ahead of people like Laurent Clerc and Thomas Gallaudet, who provided a standardized signed language for deaf children to learn, or William Stokoe, who conclusively proved that signed languages are just as legitimate and complex as spoken languages?
