CCpur, September 23 2023:
The Centre for Community Initiative (CCI) on Saturday observed International Day of Sign Languages (IDSL) at Malsawm Ability Resource Centre (MARC), Pearsonmun.
During the event, knowledge on basic sign languages was imparted to children with disability and their parents, who are from most vulnerable families.
Despite the prevailing situation in the state, the IDSL programme was organised at MARC considering the hardship faced by those who are deaf and dumb.
The aim of the event was to help parents in conversing with their wards through international sign languages by the special educator and staff of the MARC.
Also, an orientation was held for those recruited volunteers under Community Learning Centre for seven relief centres taken care of by the CCI staff.
The CCI also assured to provide further necessary help in days to come.
