As NMS Cares fast tracks its mission to fully
committing its services and resources for Deaf learners of the local community,
a crucial step to its long term goal of fully advocating for less privileged
young Deaf individuals all throughout the Asia Pacific, members of the
organization went on a series of school visits that cater to Deaf Learners as
part of its information dissemination efforts.
The organization visited three schools within
Baguio City namely, Baguio School for the Deaf, the Special Education Department
of Easter College and SLRI Deaf Resource Center. NMSC also trekked all the way
to La Trinidad, Benguet to visit the Benguet SPED Center.
The organization's representatives met up with
school heads, teachers, and Deaf students mainly to share, inform and, explain
the advocacy of NMSC.
Moreover, General Manager Ara Paz Esperanza
explained in an interview, "Other
than information dissemination, NMS Cares would like to create a positive
synergy among active advocates in the field of Deaf education."
The school visits also gave an opportunity for
NMSC’s International Relations Officer Max Eyking, a chance to interact with
the Deaf learners of the local community. Being an integral part of the
organization's DREAM Program (Deaf
Recreational Engagement Activity Movement), Max
will be spearheading all NMSC physical and/or recreational projects during his
6-month stay in the country upon his return in November.
An opportunity to communicate directly with the
people involved in the education of young Deaf individuals is pivotal as it
allows NMS Cares to have an unrestricted view and understanding of the current
situation of Deaf education in the local community.
