More deaf in our neighbourhood!

Ad: Our new neighbour, Gladys, below, has just pleaded for help from us in caring for her semi- paralysed and emotionally disturbed deaf-mute 6 yr-old daughter. Grace also often chews stones, timber and soil. Shoppingis only possible by tying her ankle to a heavy log in the shade whilst her Mum makes the two hour round trip with- out having to worry if Grace has gone missing. Such on-going pleas for help makes our vision burning even stronger in my heart!


At Arua Primary Jonahansi introduced me to the 13 deaf day students he teaches there. His manager Florence, inset has asked us to partner the deaf unit in providing some sign vocabulary workshops for the staff of the 2000 pupil primary school next Feb. Deaf students who are fluent signers are being trained to teach small groups.. A few of the deaf students have additional learning difficulties. They are well catered for in as much as resources allow
