Partnership

I attended the Sign Language Training Course jointly organised by MBPJ and the Lions Club District 308B1 on Saturday morning. The course aimed at teaching participants the right way to communicate with deaf people. More than often misunderstanding occurred between the able and disabled people due to the problem of communication. While many have taken for granted that deaf people should be able to "read" what the able person is talking about, it is actually turned out to be "no reading". So, the course is timely and essential especially for the front line people in dealing with deaf people. The organising also saw the partnership between government body and NGO for promoting good cause. I believe, partnership likes this is very much lacking at the moment. Pooling and sharing resources through mutual understanding and cooperation is of great help to inculcate greater result and impact. It is unnecessary to work thing out individually especially if we are talking about targeting the same beneficiaries. often different groups cannot work things out simply because of organisational egoism.

So, get rid of egoism for greater impact should be the first step forward for true partnership.
