Volunteer
You make a living by what you get. You make a life by what you give.
Winston Churchill
We have a wonderful group of volunteers who have been contributing in various ways for the development of our students and the organization. They have been selflessly dedicating their time, skills and efforts and helping us in bringing about a meaningful difference in the lives of the Deaf.
All our volunteers have been a source of great support to NDS and we wish to thank each of them for being part of our journey. These volunteers are the real change makers of society and we are glad that people from all walks of life-students, homemakers, professionals are coming forth to do their bit for society.
We also have special classes for people interested in learning Indian Sign Language as knowledge of the language can enable them to directly interact with our students and engage more deeply.
