Visit to Anwesha Kolkata by Rajni Nijhawan Charitable Trust
Anwesha is an Association of Parents who have Deaf children and who have come together under this umbrella to try to assist each other and their own children . The idea is to teach the parents and children how to communicate with each other, how to learn to read and write so as to get a basic education and how to learn skills that will enable them to move in to the main-stream and become useful members of society. There are 22 children and their parents who are currently enrolled in the School. From the work seen at the School, the Anwesha Team ( both parents and Teachers) are doing an excellent job in catching these deaf children when they are young, getting them fitted out with hearing aids, and, then teaching them through books, pictures, sign language and other teaching aids on how to gain the confidence to read, write and speak.
