January 20, 2015, Baguio City – Young Deaf learners actively participated and engaged with the NMSC team at the launch of the LIVE (Learning thru Interactive Visual Education) Program at the St. Lorenzo Ruiz Institute – Deaf Learning Resource Center (SLRI-LRC) last Monday, January 19, 2015. 

SLRI-LRC students engage with Deaf Education Coordinator, Nicole Goliat at the first lesson under the LIVE Program.

The program is aimed at enhancing young Deaf Learners’ math and English skills through the use of iPads. This initiative was launched in the effort of bringing a more visual and interactive approach of learning to the young Deaf learners. 

SLRI students aged 14-20 years old were the first to utilize the iPads using applications created with corresponding lesson plans specially formulated in accordance with their respective learning levels. Another partnered institution, the Baguio School for the DEAF (BSD), on the other hand will have its first run of the LIVE Program on Friday, January 23, 2015. The classes will be done weekly, where the facilitators will also be monitoring the progress of the students.

SLRI students apply mathematical procedures and concepts as Deaf Education Coordinator, Yvonne Celeste facilitates their math lesson with the use of the iPad.

On the forefront of this initiative is Program Development Manager, Ember Palma, and along with her are the Deaf Education Coordinators, Yvonne Celeste and Nicole Goliat. By the end of this program, NMSC aims for each student to have a richer understanding and application of the lessons they are taught in school, through the supplemental learning experience, which the LIVE Program provides.

The iPads serve as a visual interactive aid for young Deaf learners to enhance their learning experience.

January 7, 2015, Baguio City - We here at NMS Cares wish everyone a HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

2014 has truly been a great and fulfilling year for NMS Cares as we witnessed growth not only inside the team, but also in spreading the word about our organization and getting more people involved. Throughout the previous year, we had been blessed in forging solid partnerships with local institutions catering to the Deaf, thus being able to widen the reach of our service.

The year 2015 holds great promise for NMS Cares as several programs are lined up to launch during the start of the year. Among these programs is the LIVE (Learning thru Interactive Visual Education), set to launch on January 9, 2014 under the facilitation of Program Manager, Ember Palma. Through this program, students are given an opportunity to enhance math and reading skills in a highly interactive manner, through the use of iPads. The use of the iPads help not only in stimulating the young Deaf learners' visual comprehension, but also in empowering them to be technologically adept in this digital age. Another program that will hit the ground running this year is the Career Orientation Program aimed at shedding some light on possible career options that young Deaf individuals may pursue. The target launch of this program would be during the 1st quarter of the year. NMS Cares is opening its doors to all possible opportunities to which we can contribute and make a difference, most especially in the lives of Deaf youth.

It is with high hopes and continuing hard work that we greet 2015. May NMS Cares continue to flourish and grow in the upcoming year, and may more people become involved in our vision to making Deaf children reach their dreams.

Happy New Year from the NMSC Team :)
