Disability Advocates Disabillity Advisers Diversity Equity Inclusion Hearing Access to Healthcare People with Disabilities
Members of our district's Rotary Club of World Disability Advocacy and Rotary Disabilities Advisory Group have helped to promote a Hearing Access to Healthcare Zoom session, to include people in Bangladesh, Cambodia, Zambia, and Nepal.
 
 
Realtime captioning was provided, and international sign language was available on request.
 
One of the event organizers was the International Federation of Hard of Hearing People, an international, non-governmental organization. The federation represents the interests of more than 466 million hard-of-hearing people worldwide.

We are looking for people who have skills in the development of web apps. We are also seeking a volunteer set up an online calendar, on a platform such as Google Calendar, where people and groups may post events related to our club, our group, and their missions.
 
Kindly introduce yourself to me, including but not limited to your county of residence, your role in the society, whether you are a person with a disability, parent of a child with disability, a diversity- and disability-rights advocate, etc.
