Breath Water Sound at Mary Kihn School for the Deaf & Hard of Hearing
We are for the first time in Cape Town teaching 45 deaf children at Mary Kihn School, a Special Needs School.
We have done some research after having meetings with the school and the WCED and shall modify some aspects as the deaf don’t close their eyes as their eyes become their ears and eyes.
We focussed on the yoga, breathing and sound aspect in terms of bringing African drums and using this vibration to calm them, and an added fun element for the children. The Principal has communicated and said that deaf children need more practical lessons such as yoga and sound vibration and of course the breathing. They are foundation phase as well as older children.
We had incredible feedback from the teachers with regards to the energy levels and concentration of the children. The Western Cape Education Department is monitoring the program and are very happy with the children’s response even after just 2 days.
Well done to to our team volunteers, Francois, Elizabeth and Nomvuyo.
