May 25, 2015, CAGAYAN DE ORO – The NMS Cares team went up and running in full gear at the Philippine Federation of the Deaf General Assembly at the Malasag Eco-village in Cugman, Cagayan De Oro. The event, which ran from May 14 to May 17 was hosted by the Deaf Association of Misamis Oriental, bearing the theme, “One Family, One Community”.

NMSC showcased its varied programs at the event’s bazaar exhibit, ranging from enhancing Deaf education through the use of technology to helping forge a strong communication between the Deaf and hearing community.

To further demonstrate one of its most in-demand programs, convention attendees were treated to a unique experience as iPads being used for the Learning thru Interactive Visual Education (LIVE) Program were made available for everyone to explore. This allowed the NMSC team to show delegates from students to Deaf educators and advocates how one of its programs is being implemented, giving them an opportunity to consider applying the same program to their respective communities.

NMSC’s programs have been structured and developed using a framework that would allow any other organization with the same goals and advocacies as NMSC, to run them among its beneficiaries. In a move that will allow more Deaf individuals to benefit from NMSC’s programs, the organization have proposed during the GA for its programs to be used by the different Deaf organizations, academic institutions, and LGUs advocating for the Deaf. NMSC will give free services to train members and customize each program to better fit the needs of their respective beneficiaries.

The PFD General Assembly provided NMSC a great opportunity to connect and interact with the Deaf community on a national level and has given the organization a new level of understanding on the specific needs of the Deaf community it continues to advocate for.

Apart from running an information booth, NMSC also presented a short video presentation during the event’s opening night, which allowed the delegates a glimpse of NMSC’s past and ongoing initiatives.
