The theme of the 5th Women’s Month Celebration is
“RECOGNIZING WOMEN’S CONTRIBUTIONS IN CREATING A HEALTHY SOCIETY”
Last March 14-18, 2011, the SDEAS Deaf Community had a Women’s Month Celebration. Many attended the activities: Holy Mass, Exhibit, Women’s Day Orientation, “Healthcare System Access for Deaf Women”, Forum: Capabilities of Deaf Women, Film Showing:”Mother Teresa”, “Women: Great Contributors in having a Successful Family Relationship”, We are Valuable: Uplifting Women’s Self-Esteem in Relationships”, Announcement of Winners/competition (Exhibit), Fun Games ”Women’s Month Celebration” and Closing Program.
SDEAS is proud to have a lot of opportunities during Women’s Month Celebrations. These events are important to the Deaf. It is very important to have education opportunities for the Deaf women to become good leaders and to empower our Deaf community/society.
I felt very happy with the Deaf women students who participated our fun games for the first time because in the past events we had some male and female who participated in our games. That was really fun to see them playing basketball versus the other female students. It was enjoyable and overwhelming to watch Women’s Pinoy Henyo with the SDEAS community. I hope to continue with these events and continue having better ones too every year.-Ms.Myra Medrana
I was very emotional about the Film Showing Mother Teresa. She helped the poor people who needed food but it was very sad because in the film some government did not support the people. Mother Teresa fed the poor people and never left them. It was very emotional and it hurts me, I feel like I want to help the society and be a good leader like Mother Teresa.-Jasmin Rivera
