Helen staffs on adventure Abergavenny Wales with 29 deaf children

It was such a fun week climbing, canoeing, high ropes, bush craft and much more. The children had a fabulous time; from strangers at the start of the week to best friendships by the end of it. Sadly, child protection rules prevents us showing a group photo.

    Welsh signing was a learning experience but a few of the children were keen to have a go at learning Ugandan and American signs which they noticed me mistakenly using. Interestingly, as the week progressed many oral deaf children were adding British Sign Language and shifting towards total communication. The National Deaf Children’s Society(NDCS)continue to do a great job of improving lives for countless numbers of families with deaf children in the UK. Helen
