The students of JS Academy for the Deaf hosted a spring festival to share the joys of spring with their other deaf friends who came together from different deaf schools of Karachi, at a ceremony held at their park. This ceremony brought together over 300 deaf participants from all over Karachi.
he main focus was to “break the barriers of communication” through music, dance, drama, and sign-language, and to prove that given the right kind of environment and nurturing, deaf children can excel in any field and are willing to take up challenges. These students showed today that even though they cannot hear or speak fluently, yet they have an excellent sense of rhythm, they can dance beautifully, they have an exceptional sense of humor; and they can perform skits with full energy.
The ceremony also awarded and acknowledged the high-achievers of the JS Academy who have excelled in their Matric and Inter-Board Examinations.
JS Academy for the Deaf provides quality education to deaf children who come from extremely poor families. The students not only get curriculum oriented education, but also develop their personalities to meet the challenges of their ever changing environment. The school has an open door policy and no child is denied the opportunity to receive education due to age restrictions or any other reason.
