Community work: Rotary Club of Panvel Industrial Town Charitable Trust’s Rotary Special School for Hearing Impaired Children at New Panvel
Our student teachers and teachers attended the school in small batches and assisted the teachers in their daily activities of teaching learning and other cocurricular activities for nearly two hours daily. We were at this center for a month. Our students were sensitized to need for early testing of children to understand impairment and the course of action to be taken after diagnosis. It was understood that early diagnosis leads to almost recovery and near normal speech and hearing. Our students also learnt some basic sign language to communicate with them. They came back with a sense of satisfaction and a new appreciation for life as we know it.
