Two GADHOH Members Return from Spain
By Yaya Bajo
Two GADHOH board members, Madam Amie Cham and Mr. Landing Badjie, have recently returned from the 15th World Federation of the Disabled Congress in Spain. Madam Cham is the chairperson of the association’s Female Wing and Mr Badgie is the deputy to the entity’s Executive Director and a sign language teacher.
Madam Cham and Mr. Badjie met with prominent men and women who are deaf and have acquired a lot of new experiences. According to the duo, everyone they have met and everything they have been shown have indeed added something to their experience. “Most of the people we met were friendly and courteous. We gave information about The Gambia and GADHOH and received information on the outside world, as well”, they reported.
Amie and Landing shared their experience with colleagues and friends and have suggested to the national radio and television authorities, at a press conference they convened, to seriously consider introducing broadcasting sign news so that The Gambia will not be left behind by the development of the deaf taking place in the other parts of the world.
