National Deaf Youth Camp 2011 “Rebirth of Deaf Youth”

Saceda Youth Lead Center Purok Likod Candau-ay, Dumaguete City
May 12-16, 2011

The La Salle University School for the Deaf would like to thanks the Pen International for sponsoring 2 Deaf students and 1 observer to attend the said camp. It was a very nice experienced for all of us. On the first day May 13 was an opening program, orientation and followed the lecture on first aid measures. That was a very good activity because it helps the participants know some of the basic techniques on first aid. There was a demonstration showed on what they did with patient who met an accident.


In this picture the participants were taught on how to do an open bondage, broad cravat, semi broad and narrow cravat using a triangular bondage. They also taught a square knot using the bondage right over left, insert then hold the knot, right over left.

On the second day May 14, a very tiring, challenging and enjoying activity... and that is an Amazing race...The participants were trained to become a good leader in the community. It helps them to become independent and developed their self-confidence.


In this picture the participants were grouped into four: the yellow, red, blue and green team and there is a hearing observer with them. This is a red team, they were tasks to look for the place Casa Mania in Talay ,Dumaguete City, a quiet place far from Saceda Youth Lead where we stayed. That was a very challenging activity because the participants did not knew the place where to go. They just followed the map that they had. The observer will not teach them on what to do but just observe.

May 15 was the 3rd day, there was a re echo on the different camp attended by some of the committees in Macau, Singapore, Korea and Spain. They also discussed The Un-Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities; presented their action plan for 2011 to 2015, rights and duties on the different committees and they elected a new set of officers for the next camp. It was successfully done by the organizers.


Culmination night was on the evening on that day. There was a program prepared by the committees and the participants.


Eating together was fun during that day. They presented a dance with the theme “Rebirth with the Youth Camp” presented by the 3 major islands Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.


May 16 was the 4th day, the end after all the activities happened. It was an exciting adventure for all of us. We visited the Red River, Robinsons, St.Catherine Church, Bag-ong Silang Tourist Spots Dumaguete Boulevards, and Siliman University. After all the exciting adventure was a HOME SWEET HOME by the participants and the observers.
