LSVMS and LSGH ANHS Teacher & Student Exchange Program

Experiencing A Legacy of Generosity  

(LSVMS Student and Teacher Exchange Program)

                   If there was one thing I know about Rio Tuba, it is the infamous crocodile, which said to have devoured a resident along the river banks, featured on IWitness in 2011.  
            We, Sir Kent, Frank (SC President), Arvie (Deaf SC Representative) and I left LSGH at 4AM for our 10AM flight at NAIA Terminal 4.  We had to drop off our visitors from RIT - NTID who had to catch their 6AM flight.  Sleep is catching up with us when we were finally allowed to board by 9:50AM.  
                     The four of us were sent to one of LSGH's supervised school, Leoncio S. Virata Memorial School for the first student and teacher exchange program from January 18 - 21, 2017.  Our two-hour flight to Puerto Princesa was only the start of a long travel to our destination, Rio Tuba, Palawan, our only itinerary for the day was the lunch in one of the malls in Puerto Princesa, and the rest was a 6-7 hour commute (private van) to our  destination.

13th ANHS Deaf Week



 This year's Deaf Week focuses on the stories of our Deaf learners.  ANHS aims to encourage more hearing individuals to listen to the stories of our Deaf partners, and to encourage them to mingle and share their own lives as well.   Our Deaf Week aims to showcase the skills and talents of our Deaf learners and SLIs to the community.  We hope that we continue to share our stories, learn sign language and communicate with the Deaf.
We would like to express our heartfelt and sincerest gratitude to everyone who took part and supported the celebration of the 13th ANHS Deaf Week from November 9 – 18, 2016.

The Deaf Storytelling challenged the hearing contestants to retell a story to their Deaf partners.  Deaf participants retold the story to the Deaf alumni judges. The winners of the competition held last November 16, 2016 were, Deaf students Jeffrey Sarenas (9A), Jhasua San Juan (10A) with their hearing partners Vanessa Joy Julian (9B) & Wendell Altamera (SHS ABM) in First Place; while Deaf participants Denise Castro (9A) and Mohaimmer Badio (10B) with their Deaf partner Cielo May Relunia (9B) bagged 2nd Place.   
Our 2nd Deaf Camp was held at the Bible Institute for the Deaf.  This year's activity featured the skills of our SHS - TVL Deaf students.  The group did a cooking demo of two pasta dishes from their Cookery Class.  The event also showcased the skills of our two SLIs Miss Roni and Sir Rodel on two DIY activities.  The event served as a bench marking activity and interaction with our BID partners.





One of the anticipated activities of our Deaf Week is the SIGN On ANHS.  The activity was held on 17 November 2016 had our teachers teach and students (Hearing and Deaf) use signs for two periods.  The activity which was introduced last year, was an opportunity for the whole community to use signs in Class.
