Nurturing Deaf talent

Dear Editor,

Thank you for today’s front page photo of  ‘Differently-abled youth dancers…‘ on the occasion of the formal launching of the National Commission on Disability. The dancers are Odinga James and Colin Sertimer, members of the Deaf dance group ‘IceBreakers,‘ and Ashia Gittens, a hearing student at the National School of Dance. The item – Friendship – was choreographed by Lynda Griffith, who never tires of nurturing Deaf talent in dance and drama. Thank you also to NCD for having provided another opportunity for Deaf dancers to shine.

Yours faithfully,
Sabine McIntosh
President, Deaf Association of Guyana
