'For a better future': That is certainly the idea of our Global Education Campaign in all regions and for all people involved. And if just 2 children are included in a country like Vietnam, there is surely a dire need for this better future.
#deafblindasia #DBI #deafblindinternational #Deafblind
So this is one of the fundamental challenges in Vietnam: identifying children with deafblindness in the first place and thus determining their number.

You are interested: So let's get started with the introduction!
#deafblindasia #DBI #deafblindinternational #deafblind #WFDB
Akiko, a woman with short brown hair, dark glasses, a pink sweater and black trousers, is sitting in a wheelchair in front of a poster. To her right are two men and a woman. The woman is communicating with tactile signs under Akiko's left hand. To Akiko's left is a man in a suit beaming. He has his hands at hip level and seems ready to start signing. There are palm trees and other plants above the group, and the blue sky is above them.
New week, new country, new leader, same focus on Asia: Prepare to meet Akiko Fukuda from Japan. She is also the one who launched the idea of an Asian Federation of the Deafblind during the 1st DbI Regional Asian Conference in Nepal.
