Child Sponsorship
For only $30 a month, you will help your Deaf student gain literacy and life skills that he or she would not be able to get otherwise. Your sponsored Deaf student will attend classes regularly, Monday to Friday, at the learning center. He or she will also have the opportunity to participate in educational field trips, attend Deaf events hosted by the Albay Association of the Deaf and gain real life experience with Deaf adults in the hearing community. In addition, your $30 will also pay for the student’s class materials and worksheets, his or her public transportation or dormitory expenses, as well as a small contribution for the allowance of our volunteer Deaf teacher.
Below are the deaf and hard-of-hearing students waiting for a sponsor. If you are interested in sponsoring one of our students and would like to request more information, please send us an email at [email protected].
