Community Service Center for the Deaf Visitation

About a week after the end of finals we put what we learned during the sign language course to good use. We visited the Community Service Center for the Deaf. It is basically a school for deaf-mute children. We played some station games with them and got them Domino's for lunch =P


We got a mini tour of the place when we arrived, and some kids "sang" for us.


They signed "Are You Sleeping?" and "Negaraku".
Through their hand movements, we heard music =)

I was in charged of teaching the kids how to make origami dinosaur. It was really hard to do with the communication barrier. In the end I gave up teaching the harder original version dinosaur and substituted it with an easier version. I now fully understand how people with disability feel when they can't get their message across. I am very thankful that I have been born with all five senses working normally.


This is the harder version of the dinosaur that one of the kids managed to make.


All the kids loved the pizzas with pineapple toppings.
We are not so different after all ^_^


We went to Dave's Bistro Bar & Grill at 1 Utama for lunch after the visit.
Their pasta was dee-lish!
But everyone was starving so I doubt anyone took pictures of the food *LOL*

KUDOS!
