He, further said that, his organization has now started working with Machinga Teachers Training College, to roll out sign language training program, in a bid to train more sign language Teachers in the country.<\/p>\n

Chimenya observed that this program will ensure that Malawi has adequate number of sign language Teachers, a development which will go a long way in raising education standards among the Deaf Community in the country.<\/p>\n

MANAD was established in 1992 as\\n an umbrella body for the Deaf Community in the country. Some of its core objectives are to serve as an advocate of the Deaf and implement policies having direct impact on the welfare and interests of the deaf Community.<\/p>\n
