APPEAL FOR PLACE TO CONDUCT OUR TRAINING PROGRAM FOR DEAF-BLIND AND DEAF-LOW VISION

Dear Madam/Sir,

We request the support for an infrastructure - one office/training center space in Mumbai. We need  place for 3 years with min. 2 class rooms, toilet kitchen/pantry area of at least 1000 sq ft. for running training projects for the youth with deafblindness for wage & self-employment programs for persons with deafblindness.  This would be home office where SEDB founder & other deafblind staff will reside in night and run office in day time. So residential or semi residential premises would help us.  

WE APPEAL YOU, to support us; due to the pandemic we are currently operating the projects from home office here in Pune. We are not in position to pay heavy commercial rates as rent for our training center as we don't have any grant or funding options. We need some support for funding training activities. Hence we seek support for infrastructure for our training project either free or at nominal rent. We are also planning employability training for deafblind and deaf-low vision on wage employment training for 6 months & also self-employment training for one year. Both this training is based on settlements & placements of disabled youths in Mumbai region. The ideal Batch size would be 10-25 candidates per batch.

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

Sunil Abbas, General Secretary of SEDB worked hard to organize our participation including registration, hotel and stall arrangements. He took support from Chetana Trust to help create the presentation, design the banner and organize transport for the participants.

We also learned to understand many different laws. It was very different. We motivated Kenyan who are deaf and deafblind that they are facing problems such as discriminations against law and they were advised to overcome all difficulties and problems in th
