 We had a great time at Panola Mountain Park! There were people all ages, deaf and hearing, students and interpreters, all together meeting each other and renewing old friendships. Mary Catherine cooked some great burgers and hot dogs. Plus Meskel gave out door prizes from restaurants in the area.  It was fun to chat and some people went on a hike while others played on the playground.  Thank you everyone who participated! We want to do it again next August!

Another HHD success story

Hi Friends, I wanted to let you know of another HHD success story.  A lady came to us in need of a place to live and we found an affortable apartment for her close to her place of work.  She can even walk to work which is great for her situation!!  We are glad to be a part of HHD and working to help Deaf and Hard of Hearing people life safely and be successful.

HHD continues to tutor people

As you may know, Nathan tutors a deaf man who immigrated to America with his family from Syria every Tuesday. Juilee, a lady from the New American Pathways, came to interview us. That lady in the far left side is Juilee. The second one from the left is Page Love Smith, the coordinator who introduced Meskel and me to Marwan, a deaf man who fled from Syria. The next two ladies are Rebecca and Araz. They are the former refugees from other countries. Next is the man who arrived in America in April 2017 from Kenya after fleeing from Somalia. The last man on the right is Marwan.
