COMMUNITY

My work with BC Hands & Voices has always been part of a team effort, so I share this recognition with other BC H&V board members and volunteers, past and present. I hope our organization continues its work supporting families of deaf and hard of hearing children for many years to come, as I strongly believe that families will make the best decisions for their children if they have access to good information and support.
