Union Preparatory School in Graaff Reinet recently hosted their annual Carols by Candlelight. It was a delightful evening on the UPS rugby field with the Valley of Desolation and Spandaukop as the backdrop. The school raised and donated R3 100 to the #MayaDeafFoundation.

#Deaf but #NotDEAFeted Thanks to @Die_Burger for covering my story with last year's #DeafAwareness #campaign

Medically speaking, I have #sensorineural #deafness in other words “damage to the inner #ear or to the nerves that send sound to the brain.”
