Hello, welcome to my blog. I work as a Programmes Manager for Deaf Child Worldwide. We work to support deaf children in developing countries. The world is a very unequal place - and deaf children living in poor countries feel that inequality more than many. They’re often kept at home, not given the opportunity to gain language skill and denied their rights to an education. We’re trying to change this and this blog will be about how we do that. I want to share stories, successes and failures from our partners around the world and make everyone more aware of what things are like for deaf children in developing countries – and how hard many people – both deaf and hearing are working for positive change.
Just in case, you have heard of us before, we used to be called the International Deaf Children’s Society, because we’re actually the international development agency of the National Deaf Children’s Society in the UK. But in March we got a new name and this blog will talk about our new ambitious plans as well as all the great things we’re achieving on the ground.
Please post comments telling me what you’d like to hear about and if you have any questions about what we do…
