Comments on speakers
"Interestingly, in response to this imminent threat, the Deaf Alliance--a team of deaf and hearing villagers who advocate the interests of the deaf villagers and their relatives--have supported the establishment of Kata Kolok-based deaf education. This inclusive education programme takes the form of a deaf unit within one of the village's elementary schools and is currently attended by eight deaf children."
