Local partners, AliocePastor –Rev Solomon, gave further useful written feedback recently.
He said: "The language barrier between deaf members and their relatives has been broken, and communication in the community has also got easier…..The topics were useful and the dramas helped everyone memorise the new signs being learnt and some key biblical events.
"The myth that deafness is inability is dissolving. More deaf are now attending their local church because their services have become more accessible.”
At the beginning of July and August we provided transport for over 20 local people with disabilities, deaf, polio and blind to go to the outlying villages of Kova and then Ezuku.
The aim is to encourage their communities to see the gifts and potential of the physically challenged members and their families.We used sign-song, drama (above) and testimony. The villagers were really appreciative.
