Ukraine

Ukraine

After three months of training from professional psychologists, students at a school for the deaf in Ukraine learned new methods for communicating as well as practical skills for assimilating into society after graduation--a difficult task for anyone with a disability in Ukraine, due to negative social stigma. After the three months of training, the students attended a seminar about Volunteerism conducted by myself. Immediately after the seminar, the students participated in a Service Learning Project where they put Volunteerism into action by beautifying their schoolyard. The deaf students were joined in their beautifcation efforts by non-deaf student volunteers from a local business college, with whom the deaf students had a chance to practice their newfound communication and assimilation skills. Simultaneously, the business students learned to be more accepting of their disabled peers. The picture included shows the students in action during the Service Learning Project.
