Hibberdene Happenings: You’re never too old to learn a new language
Charts depicting sign language letters may be obtained from the clinic from next week onwards.
MIZPAH Church held a very successful men’s breakfast last Saturday, with the women being invited as a special treat. The audience was held spellbound as two teachers – Kubashnee Perumal and Peggy Shoba – from St Martin de Porres School in Port Shepstone, gave a most interesting demonstration on the use of sign language.
