DAM, MULUND MUMBAI ON 7TH MAY 2022

On 7th May 2022, I, Zamir Dhale’ the founder of the Society For The Empowerment Of The Deaf-Blind(SEDB) India was invited along with Ms. Bushra Merchant’ the first Board Member of the SEDB’ to attend Deaf Chats event organized by Deaf Association of The Mumbai(DAM) at Mulund’ Mumbai as special Guest, as the first deafblind person to meet many and more than 400 deaf participants from all across Maharashtra and interacted with them. Some people already knew me sometime before. But’ some  people who are not aware about deafblind person. They are learnt through the experience of meeting me. Ms. Bushra is also a deaf-low vision(DLV).

 

Meanwhile’ Ms. Sangeeta Gala’ the Vice President of the SEDB (rights of the women and child)  was also with us at the dais, special guests who were deaf were talking about technologies rights of the deaf people’ meant is that deaf people should learn and study and also do hard work such as reading the gaining knowledge and information about Right to Information(RTI)’ deaf people should focus on work’ good work’ do on time as discipline’ trust others’ understand friend and share with them each other’ share their experiences about diversity in beliefs, rituals irrespective of caste, race caste’ etc. Enjoyment and jokes talking is important to make good health.

 

I gave my speech’ I talked about SEDB and deafblind people in India’ shared about my small experience life as well. Over all I explained about how to communicate with deafblind people through writing on palm, computer, mobile phone,  tactile communication etc. I also shared few words about Usher Syndrome, For example I was a deaf born, I used to go deaf school day to day life. Gradually my vision too deteriorated and I lost my vision at the age of 10. I could see a little but due to progressive vision loss, gradually felt difficulty to see anything. Similarly deaf children could face similar problems, So deaf child should learn to overcome their difficulties in life. For example, If some deaf child will get irritated if they have difficulty to see anything. But do not worry about deafblind children’s future. Organisation like SEDB is there to help deaf and deafblind people as strong collections. Especially deaf & deaflow vision, Please do not watch the video and photos too much, do not think too much. Do not take any tensions about job and work. At SEDB, we are with you all and bring so many and more deafblind friends to join a big group to discuss and understand the motivation sessions.

Finally’ Deaf students should do hard work to study more better. Deaf and deafblind people should influence government of India and asking government to help you to get better educated in English including Hindi. Deaf and Deafblind should read and write skills like normal world. Government school teachers should learn Indian Sign Language to teach deaf students, not to force them to use oral. This is because they do not understand sound what is voice meanings. Parents of deaf and deafblind should understand and learn ISL do it very well. Government of India should give deaf and deafblind equal rights treat them with equality, like all others. Also give job opportunity and equal salary, which is  is important to be treated with equality. Thank you!

Deaf-Blind Catagorised as Multiple - Disability. Why?

Hello Disability Rights Activists, I trust you are safe and doing well. I would like to share an important update with you.  My younger brother, Akhtar Dhale who is also deaf-blind like me, is living in Pune. He is self-employed and is working from home selling candles and cloth bags with very minimal income. He is with our parents who are too old.  His wife who is deaf is a house wife. Last Wednesday Akhtar went to Sasoon Eye Hospital for renewing his disability certificate for his disability pension. I advised him to take only Blind certificate instead of Deaf certificate as well. My brother's wife who is deaf also went along. The doctor assumed that both were deaf  and gave him the certificate for deafness. But my brother thought that it was for 100% Blindness.  When he submitted the photocopies of the certificate to the department at Pune Municipal Corporation, they were not approved. My brother could not check by reading the certificate. My cousin brother later told him that i
