Our first Sign language workshop in Pune will be conducted by a certified interpreter trained in Mumbai. She has worked with the hearing impaired for a considerable amount of time and we are proud to have her on our team. We will also be roping in another certified instructor from Mumbai who will take us through the basics of Signing.
This will be an introductory workshop for two days over the third weekend of April 2007. Its aim is to introduce the Sign language and its advantages to families and friends of (and also to) hearing impaired children and adults. It is easier for the hearing impaired to sign than to try and speak. We must facilitate better communication with them if we do not want to be denied access to intelligent minds which are struggling to be heard.
We live in a country where many different languages are spoken and understood. We also have foreign languages being taught in schools and colleges. We hope to add Braille and the Sign language to the list.
Do come.
Avanti!!

Timing: 10.30 AM ~ 3.30 PM
