TINIG KAMAY PROGRAM

Tinig Kamay a Filipino term which means “voice of the hand” promotes meaningful interaction between hearing and deaf students through teaching of sign language. Sign language clubs were established in Miriam College Grade School (The Salinkamay Club) and High School (Boses Kamay Club) and Ateneo High School (Usap Kamay Club). On top of the sign language lessons given to hearing students, interaction activities such as camps, sportsfest, and peer tutoring are also held.
