A Community Based Deaf Awareness Action that aims to teach sign language to deaf children, their parents and other resource persons was launched on Monday at the Diamond Community Centre.
According to a press release from the Guyana Community Based Rehabilitation Programme the project is being executed by the East Bank Community Based Rehabilitation Programme in partnership with the USAID Guyana Democratic Consolidation and Conflict Resolution (GDCCR) project. It will provide community based support activities to improve awareness which will lead to improved access to education, health and other social services for deaf persons from the East Bank area.
