LENDING a helping hand to the hearing challenged in finding a life partner, the Deaf Way Foundation is organising a `Vivaha Vedika for the deaf' here on April 3.
Encouraged by good response to matchmaking meets held at national level, the Foundation has decided to hold one in Hyderabad.
Though it has been helping out the parents of the deaf to find life partners for their children in a small way, the Foundation started organising large-scale sammelans for the last three years.
"Forty-three families from 14 cities in north India turned up last year at Agra for the Parinay Milan Sammelan," said Mr T.K.M. Sandeep, coordinator of the Foundation.
The Delhi-based non-governmental organisation, through its branch in Hyderabad, would now organise first such sammelan in Andhra Pradesh.
Ms Ramya, a Foundation representative, told Business Line that Deaf Way conducted a national conference for the deaf youth every year, where experts spoke on rehabilitation, deaf awareness and modes of adult education. The Foundation also ran a mission called AHEAD (Awareness and Health Education for Adult Deaf) to provide information general health and reproductive health.
