Deaf Alert asks President for his support

THE EDITOR: We hope you are in support of the deaf people of Trinidad and Tobago. We welcome you as the President of Trinidad and Tobago. We would like you to be a part of the Support for the Non Government Organisation — “Deaf Alert.”

The University of the West Indies has never before made provisions for the hearing impaired, as a result persons who are hearing impaired are forced to go to foreign universities. Why? We hope you would show your support for deaf people of Trinidad and Tobago by helping the deaf people of Trinidad and Tobago to get employment. Why are there no deaf lawyers and deaf ministers in our country? It’s certainly not because we are not capable. It is simply because no one wants to hire a deaf person, no matter how qualified he or she is. When I look at the House of Parliament, the members of Government and the Opposition members, they all can hear, I therefore recommend that persons who are hearing impaired be added to the House of Parliament and other offices.
