Holiday at deaf school San Francisco de Macoris

May 25, 2021 – Although the children of the school for the deaf in San Francisco de Macoris are not yet allowed to attend school daily due to COVID-19, last week was still a celebration. A fantastic donation allowed us to distribute 20 tablets to the children of the school. In deaf education, working with visuals and written texts is indispensable. Many students live far away from school and the tablets make it possible to communicate and learn even from a distance.

The festive ceremony, of course, took into account safety measures. The children received explanations on how to use the tablets. The parents are also involved in this project. They are partly responsible for the proper use of the tablets.

Because of Corona, the children now attend school two days a week and work at home the other three days. Without a tablet, they fall tremendously behind the other children.
