The PARD team recently had the opportunity to visit two Deaf schools, the Central Deaf Services (CDS) and the Lớp học trẻ điếc C5. During the visits, PARD presented about #SignToRead , a sign language storybook initiative which aims to support the literacy development of Deaf youth through signing storybooks available in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh sign languages. The students were engaged and excited to learn from the stories, and some students were even already practicing some signs and words to themselves while watching the video demonstrations in the presentations.
We are thrilled to connect with the next generation of Deaf youth, and we thank CDS and C5 for having us there!
