Sunday??
Lessons learnt today had brought me to understand my LOrd, my Mighty Father better.He is wonderful God that always works around me and he had given me lessons to learn.
1) Volunteers=> I must thank the 2 role models whom i had known for about 4 or 5 years for inspiring to continue to do volunteer works.
Victor and Evelyn were the example that they showed their passion in serving deaf community. Victor started learning American Sign Language at about 25 years old and went out mixing with deaf. It built up his passion to continue to serve deaf community til today. He is now in late 30s.
Evelyn was another example. Her strong faith in achieving one goal to bridge 2 worlds, hearing and deaf never waver. She strongly emphasis that hearing people never be "2nd class" citizen but to be equal as deaf people in doing volunteer work. She had come far to show that it can be achieved. Collebartion between hearing and deaf can be feasible.
Hearing people can be "listening ear" for deaf people when comes to certain and important issues so that deaf people are able to make decision in better and constructive way.
Both of them inspire me alot til today, i did an interview with them for International Day for Deaf. It was surprising indeed for me because i also manage a dragon boat team which consist of hearing and deaf team mates. I came to understand their passion in volunteerism for deaf community.
I shared my thoughts with my christian team mate how blessed we are by our God that he gave us lessons to grow and to have different perceptives.
Praise our Lord, our Father and Jesus Christ, Amen
