  Durante el mes de noviembre hemos estado trabajando para la celebración de la NAVIDAD, cada grupo (Niños, Adolescentes y Jóvenes) son responsables de elaborar adornos navideños para la ambientación de su aula. Mi persona estuvo trabajando con los jóvenes, donde hemos elaborado muchas tarjetas de invitación para entregar a los padres de familia, elaboramos luces navideñas para ambientar y actualmente estamos elaborando nuestro nacimiento de Jesús.

  GETTING TO KNOW A LITTLE BIT OF DEAF CULTURE International Sign Language Day is celebrated every September 23, established by the World Federation of the Deaf in 1951. This Day marks the birth of an organization, which has as one of its main objectives, the preservation of sign languages and deaf culture as prerequisites for the realization of the human rights of deaf people. The first International Day of Sign Languages was celebrated in 2018 as part of the International Week of the Deaf, which was first celebrated in September 1958 and has since grown into a global movement that promotes and raises awareness of the challenges that deaf people face in their daily lives. Here in PERU, on the fourth Sunday of September each year, we celebrate the "National Day of the Deaf Person" and on September 23, the "Peruvian Sign Language Day" as a unique opportunity to support and protect the linguistic identity and cultural diversity of deaf people. While it is true
