Deaf and Human Development in CBR among Other Human Rights related issues..

The goal of this blogspot is for those seeking to establish a Community Based Rehabilitation (CBR) that target Deaf and those with hearing loss living in the former USSR countries and satellites that lack local services to provide resources and information on education, employment, civic and human rights. Or, this can be added to a CBR in an area with identified deaf children.
