The program started as a result of the vision of a missionary family, Susan, Ilaja, Helga, Robert and Alice. This vision was later on caught by a few people and the church.The centre started in 1996 with 22 deaf, 6 blinds and a few normal children.Since then the enrollment has been on the increase.We now have a nursery section with 20 Kindergarten. |

Our Director Mrs. Susan Jam She is a professional teacher. An ex-student of the Baptist Teachers' Training College Ndop, a diploma holder in special education from the University of Jos-Nigeriaa in West Africa. During her missionary work with her husband Rev. Ilaja Jam three children; Helga, Robert and Alice in Equatorial Guinea, she took active part in the education of the deaf children that was established by the Southern Baptist Missionaries Jess and Peggy Thompson. Every July, there is special skill training in sign language and braille to all the teachers, field workers, parents and it is open to any interested person in the handicap education. Registration is moderate. You are encouraged to come in July. Contact the Director or any staff of the centre for further information. How We Are OrganisedOur teachers are trained and they all use sign language and Braille in order to cope with the children's work. However, threre is an over all teacher who monitors all the effective use of Braille and sign language.P.T.A or DICPTA We have a Parents Teachers Association. The majority of them are made of parents whose children have one disability or the other. That is why the name is Disabled Children's Parents/Teachers' Association (DICPTA). This association is not vey active because most parents feel the burden of their handicapped children. It has taken us time to convince some of them who always felt ashamed of having handicapped children in their children. Some of them believe that it was either because of some one's hatred to have bewitched the child or the results of their own wrongdoing. |
