Greetings from Maseno by Austine and Christine
Toys and soccer uniforms
In February the kids in Maseno received toys and stuffed animals from our partner association Kids of Maseno. All the things were distributed to the children. The team from Maseno says Thank you!
We also received the soccer uniforms. They will be used by the team (students within the school and also others belonging to the team) during the sports days which take place on a regular basis. Again we say thank you!
Greetings from Maseno! Christine and Austine!

Theme of the Deaf Week 2010 was: “Sign Language is a Language” (related to the new constitution: “Article 7(3)(b) & 120 (1) Kenyan Sign Language is one of the official Languages in Parliament“).
During the Deaf Week in September 2010 we made some progress in the area of public relations: In Maseno (especially at Maseno market place) we distributed flyers, people discussed about Sign Language and Deafness, and foot- and volleyball games were organized.

Workshops for parents and relatives of Deaf children were again organized. The finger alphabet and some signs from different areas (related to school, home, food, animals etc.) were taught.
