Sign language is often used instead of spoken language in Deaf communities, as some people with hearing loss have been brought up solely using sign language to communicate with family or friends.
In the hearing loss community, sign language is one of the major forms of communication used. It consists of hand movements, hand shapes as well as facial expressions and lip patterns in order to demonstrate what people want to say.

Meet Martha determined and focused in learning sign language. She is currently using braille as she happen to be visually impaired. A very bright lady pursuing social worker course. We wish her all the best.

Teljes is in the habit of encouraging talent within the deaf community, to show that their disability is not inability. We encourage more and more to come forward and we work together, train and create capacity.
All in all, we bless the Lord, for his graces and mercies, and our talents.
