(Point of Contact) Profoundly deaf since birth on October 23, 1973, Nuirka came into this world without hearing as the world around her became a complete and utter silence. She has long since had a personal goal that despite her deafness, she would graduate from Guatemala University. After being at the university for 7 years, Nuirka has finally accomplished her goal! Since accomplishing her personal goal, Nuirka has been working passionately with deaf children in providing therapy and guidance for the parents. She also provides sign language courses whenever she visits the Association for the Deaf. Through all this, Nuirka has had another personal goal, a dream if you will: to create an educational center for deaf children and youth. This dream is now an established organization that now exists as ASEDES (Educational Association for the Deaf) that was founded in 2007. Nuirka knows that together, everyone will fight for their goals and dreams to give the children a better future than our own. She looks forward to working with GRO to further realize everyone’s goals and dreams! |
