Filipino Deaf students share how they find hope amid the challenges brought by the pandemic in The Face Mask, a fund-raising cultural show to be held on Friday, November 25.
It is the culminating event of the month-long celebration of the 28th Deaf Festival: Defining Servant Leadership in Rebuilding.
The Face Mask mirrors the personal experiences of the Deaf who were immensely affected by the lack of in-person interaction with their loved ones and the public, as well as the chance to volunteer and engage in group activities. The show will feature a medley of Broadway and Filipino music, Filipino Sign Language poetry, interpretative and contemporary dances and ballet to highlight the performing arts as a universal language. It will be presented by Silent Steps, the official Deaf dance group of the School of Deaf Education and Applied Studies of the De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde.
“A big number of our students do not have the financial means for their basic needs. So the Student Support Fund provides them this opportunity,” shared SDEAS Center for Deaf Esteem and Formation Director Bea Francisco.
