Pick up a new language for a good cause! Specifically sign language, one of the easiest languages to learn.
Sign for a Change is an introductory sign language class where you can learn basic Malaysian sign language and useful signs that you can use to communicate with deaf patients in a clinical setting for example, to take a clinical history.
The class will be conducted by MyBIM, the Malaysian Sign Language and Deaf Studies Association. MyBIM, our event partner, is an NGO that works on projects to develop the Deaf community.
All you have to do is save your Saturday night and sign up because this event is FREE OF CHARGE! We will also be accepting donations on the event day for anyone who would like to donate. All proceeds will go to MyBIM in funding their projects for the Deaf.
This event is part of the Deaf Awareness Project by MMI Ireland and MMI Doctors to promote inclusivity and awareness for hard of hearing people in our daily life and in healthcare.
Keep an eye out for more posts on Deaf Awareness on @mmiireland throughout the next few weeks!
