Sign Language Classes

This past Monday 24 FFC girls ages 12 to 16 had the opportunity to learn sign language! The class was taught by two guest teachers from Bhatiayar University. Lieutenant Colonel R. Sivajar and Ms. Pavithra are both studying toward their Masters of Social Work and have learnt sign language in the process. The class was taught to give the girls a better understanding of sign language and living with a disability. They learnt some basic conversation as well as the alphabet (they are spelling their names in the pictures!). A class for the older boys is currently in the works and should be happening soon.
