MARCH 26, 2015, Baguio City - As part of the continuing effort of NMS Cares to use sports to educate, inspire and engage young Deaf
individuals, the DREAM Program (Deaf Recreational Engagement Activity Movement)will be continuing its sports programs this coming summer.
As summer offers the young students a break from their academics, it is a great
time to let them venture into productive and engaging activities such as
sports. The summer sports program will run for four weeks,under the
facilitation of International Relations Officer, Max Eyking. Children aged 5-13
will be taught soccer, while the young adults aged 15-20 will be taught
basketball. The program is structured in such a way that the students will be
able to gain mastery in their chosen sport through hands-on learning.

Having completed months of training beginning October 22,
2014, the participants of the workshop comprising of volunteers from Helping Hands, Healing Hearts Ministries- CRU
and Children’s Home were awarded individual certificates after
completing an intensive workshop where they were taught the basics of sign language.”
Aside from certificates of completion signed by NMSC founder, Martin Eyking,
select members of the group also received certificates of recognition for
showing exemplary skills in sign language.
 |
| For outstanding efforts in attendance and mastery of basic sign language, volunteers Eliza Bayasen, Karlo Tibio and Jeaneth Tibio were given certificates of recognition. |
With the
recommendation of Deaf Education Coordinators, Nicole Goliat and Yvonne
Celeste, they are set to take their skills further through advanced sign
language classes. In this manner, the
sign language workshop serves its purpose not only of teaching sign language to
the hearing community, but also in pooling potential interpreters.

The recently concluded workshop is part of the Family Oneness Nurturing the Deaf (FOND
Program). The thrust of the FOND Program is to help strengthen
the bond between Deaf child and his or her family members through constant
communication. As Helping Hands Healing
Hearts Ministries- CRU and Children’s Home both serve in fostering children and
giving them a home, their newly acquired skill in using sign language would
best benefit the Deaf children under their care.
