| Growing up in a bustling household with eight siblings, Farah felt isolated and like an outsider. Despite her family’s best efforts, communication was a barrier because Farah was one of the only two deaf siblings and the family did not know her language. Farah’s life changed when she discovered Deaf Reach, an organization that provided her with academic and vocational education using Pakistan Sign Language (PSL) as the mode of instruction. For the first time, Farah felt accepted. She understood her teachers, and her teachers understood her!Despite facing challenges due to her late admission, Farah never gave up. She spent long hours practicing and developing her language and academic skills. As a result, she thrived in her new environment, excelling both academically and socially. |
Today, Farah is a teacher trainee at Deaf Reach. Using her education and experience to inspire and instruct young Deaf students just like her, she is also on her way to becoming financially independent. She works tirelessly to ensure that her students have the same opportunities and support that she received at Deaf Reach. |
