OUR MISSION IS SIMPLE ...
AND WE WANT THE
WHOLE WORLD TO HEAR IT.
AND WE WANT THE
WHOLE WORLD TO HEAR IT.
This July, I had the opportunity to travel on a humanitarian trip with the Global Foundation For Children With Hearing Loss in Vietnam led by Paige Stringer who was born hard-of-hearing, but was
identified with hearing loss early in life and
received auditory-verbal therapy. The Foundation is in collaboration with the Thuan An Center for Disabled Children and Ho Chi Minh City University and provides a training curricula covering topics in audiology, speech-language pathology, early intervention and auditory-verbal practice.
The mentoring and Auditory-Verbal Therapy was taxing with long days but I loved working with the children, their families, the therapists, and “technicians” (audiologists) and we seemed to be making a significant impact. Parents all around the world are the same -
wanting their children with hearing loss to listen and speak!
so be sure to check it out regularly.
The Global Foundation for Children With Hearing Loss aims to make a direct and lasting impact on the futures of thousands of deaf and hard of hearing children around the world by providing them with access to the technology, education, and resources they need to become contributing members of society.

The weekend site-seeing was amazing but after almost three weeks I’m glad to be home.
