'Let's Connect' campaign aims to reach the youth of South Africa
"This year's campaign is aimed at the youth as we want them to realise that all young people, hearing and non-hearing, are the same,'' explains Shamila Surjoo, Director of the KZN Blind and Deaf Society. "All teenagers enjoy sport, having fun, socialising and connecting - the Deaf community just speaks a different language. We encourage all hearing South Africans to learn the phrases and reach out to those who are Deaf by communicating with them in their own language,'' continues Shamila.
"Signs, photos, graphics and activities are already a big part of the way the youth communicate and connect so it is an easy transition for them to learn some sign language and reach outtoothers,'' concludes Shamila.
