Family Celebration

Three more families celebrated their deaf son/daughters’ vocational training achievements

… in building and carpentry this month. They would like to pass on their appreciation to all our partners including vocational training centre partner West Nile Ecumenical VTC for their continuing willingness to train deaf alongside their hearing students. Wilfred is the first deaf carpentry graduate from WNEVTC and has gained paid work straight away. I’d like to pay tribute to carpentry instructor Moses for this and for his determination to develop his sign language skills and overcome his experience of  polio and to assistant building instructor Temia for her continued hard work.   

    Both Kennedy, who gained a credit, and Herbert hope to have paid work in January. We are working together to improve this opportunity even more next February with ten places on offer for suitable deaf youth in building and carpentry.
