Last October 27, 2011 (Thursday), the School of Deaf Education and Applied Studies (SDEAS) joined the DLS-CSB Community in the recent World Congress event entitled Take 45 Movements organized by the UNION MONDIALE DES ANCIENS ELEVES LASALLIENS (UMAEL). UMAEL is an international non-profit association linked to the Brothers of the Christian Schools. Its members are the Federations and Associations of Lasallian Former Students who freely wish to form part of this international network, through a feeling of belonging to the Lasallian Family. It is held every four (4) years where all the associations and federations of Lasallian former students worldwide meet to discuss the way forward for the Lasallian Alumni. It is also a unique occasion for networking and fellowship between brothers and sisters from other nations.

The SDEAS Filipino Sign Language Learning Program (FSLLP) Team led by Mr. John Xandre Baliza, Coordinator of the Educational Interpreting Program together with FSLLP Deaf faculty members conducted a Free Basic Sign Language Class held at the RM B303-1 and B303-2 from 2:30 PM – 4:30 PM to the International Lasallian guests and visitors (delegates) from different countries.
