URGENT! Why Don't you speak my language?

Our project's about hearing impaired people who can not hear anything. In this project, we will show our participants to their lives hardships.

On June 10th through the 16th we will have a project called “ Why don’t you speak my language?” that will take place the beautiful city of Adana in Turkey in 2015. This project features the difficult lives that our friends whom are hearing impaired and in the deaf community go through everyday. The project highlights the problems faced by the people with earing disabilities, to inform people on this issue and to raise awareness. The starting point of our project begins with the the disadvantaged shortcoming of our friends not being able to understand clearly or not hear at all has them not being able to understand what we say, and have no idea about music and what it sounds like. Their biggest problem is being outcast-ed from society because of their inability to both speak back and not understand what they hear. Unfortunately, people only feel bad for them or make fun of them. So because of this, those who are hearing impaired or are deaf tend to shelter themselves around others who don’t have the disability like they do.
