Sometimes the sounds of silence are heard….
When little Lucia's mother discovered her child was deaf she was determined to do whatever she could to provide an education for her. This would prove to be a daunting task, since Lucia and her mother live in rural Mexico, and until recently, there was no school in the country dedicated to educating deaf children.
This is the story of Lucia and others like her who have found their way to Tehuacán, Mexico and "la Casa del Niño Sordo," Mexico's first school for the deaf. This is also the story of how a simple idea, determined parents and dedicated volunteers banded together to create something remarkable. In doing so they gave these children hope for a viable future, where there was none before.
Come learn about Lucia, Jesus and the rest of her classmates. Be witness to these children confronting adversity and discover how their hearts and minds rise above the sounds of silence, through "la Casa del Niño Sordo."
