The superb rendition of cultural dances by the cultural troupe of the Sekondi School for the Deaf have on many occasions, held people spellbound.

These are occasins when they had entertained their fellow students and teachers or when they had to performed at state functions and private ceremonies.

During a recent visit to the school, the Junior Graphic attended the Saturday entertainment programme and it was a delight to watch how the pupils, though hearing impaired, danced perfectly to the drum beats.

Beaming with smiles all over and dressed in colourful traditional costumes the students, could not help but ask for more when the drumming stopped to mark the end of the entertainment period.

Junior Graphic spoke to Mr Peter S. Yankey, the Welfare Officer and leader of the school's cultural troupe, who said the children were trained regularly and that was why they were able to perform with such dexterity.

He urged the society to see the hearing impaired as normal children and not to neglect them because of their challenge.

We need more programs that show the skills and the strengths of our deaf students instead of so many programs that concentrate on weaknesses. God knows, they all have strengths that are being ignored in favor of concentrating on the fact that they don't hear well.
