The first series of Health Camp for the Computer Trainers Education for the Deaf (CTED
Project scholars was held last May 19-21, 2011 at the Brothers of Charity, Barangay Pucay, Baguio City.
22 of the 25 scholars were able to attend and participate in the Health Camp. All the mediators and staffs that represent the scholars, staffs of Liliane Foundation Philippines, 2 workers from CMDP and an invited speaker/facilitation Ms. Boots Mendoza were also present.
The objective of the Health Camp was to develop the personal facet of the scholars and for them to grow into the “fullness of life” and take their rightful place in the society. The CTED project aims to produce qualified and competent Deaf trainers. So, aside from the intense classroom/ academic activities, we also would want to incorporate other activities that will hone these scholars to become ready for such expectations.
Deaf sometime gets less support from family members because of communication barriers and this could spawn into other problems like developing a stable emotional personality or the feeling of helplessness. And because of them belonging to a small minority group, they have less variety of experiencing roles, behaviors and relationships.
We were able to tackle these issues during the Health Camp and the participants had expressed positive responses to the said activity.
