TRUST PROVIDING CRUCIAL HELP FOR DEAF CHILDREN
Bath, UK

A British trust has been helping restore hearing to children in South Africa, donating as many as 2,000 instruments to South African children. The UK-based Signal Trust collects donations of hearing aids and repairs them prior to shipping them south, where audiologists identify needy children and fit them with the instruments. Most children fitted do not have the benefit of verbal communication.
(Rene Buergin writes from Switzerland) "While I’m very happy to read the news in ”The Bath Chronicle January 2008” I would like to emphasize on the fact that within South Africa there are programs like the “Eduplex” in Pretoria that promote verbal communication for the hard of hearing population from a very early age such as pre-school.
