50 Deaf Children In Mexico Need Sign Language

 Día de Familia at EEESMA

Families are the fundamental core of our community; they represent a space of love, growth, and emotional security for each of our students. When invited to share how they wished to celebrate, the devoted mothers and fathers of our students at EEESMA School for the Deaf chose something beautiful: to unite as one and celebrate both Mother’s Day and Father’s Day together on June 6^th.  

With great enthusiasm and love, the families took the lead in organizing a joyful day on the school grounds, filled with laughter, games, crafts, theatre, and a delicious homemade lunch prepared and brought from their own kitchens. It was a heartfelt gathering that reflected the warmth and unity of the EEESMA community.

As the photos show, the day was filled with connection and celebration. Over the past months, these families have grown closer, not only to one another, but to their children, through the shared journey of learning Mexican Sign Language in biweekly classes held at the school. Their newfound ability to communicate more fully with their Deaf children is a profound and moving achievement, and one they are proud to share with each other.

Your support is needed to continue bringing sign language classes to families of Deaf children. Please make a donation on GlobalGiving’s July Bonus Day, July 16^th, the day your gift will be generously matched.

Looking ahead, the parents are already preparing for another milestone: July’s graduation ceremonies. In what promises to be a deeply emotional moment, each parent will express their pride and love for their child in Mexican Sign Language and doing so publicly for the very first time.

We can't wait to share those powerful moments with you.

Thank you everyone for your support!
