Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah has said that his government in the valuable partnership with Deaf Reach was imparting education and training to differently-abled children.

“This is a noble cause in which the Founder of Deaf Reach Mr. Richard Geary and his team have extended a very helpful hand with the Sindh government.” This he said while speaking at the Inauguration Ceremony of Deaf Reach Campus & Bachelor of Arts Convocation here at Gulistan-e-Jauhar on Tuesday.

Shah said that he was overwhelmed to have met these differently-talented students at Deaf Reach, who have graduated with the Bachelor of Arts program, and those who were sitting in classrooms. “It is the vision of my government to provide ample opportunities for growth to persons with disabilities,” he said and added that as partners, Deaf Reach has expanded our vision and he thanked them for the collaboration with the Sindh government to achieve this goal together.

The CM said that he was impressed with the facilities that deaf students were being provided by Deaf Reach. “I have seen their digital sign language learning program,” he said and added,

“It is a unique resource that will help build capacity for not only students but teachers and parents as well as across poodle Pakistan and is hopeful that it is going to deliver an amazing impact in near future.”

Murad Ali Shah said that he was proud of Deaf Reach with their six schools in the province and urged them to enhance and strengthen the partnership further in other districts such as Larkana and Hyderabad.
