All people are created in the image of God. This means that all human life is sacred.

In this week of awareness it is right that we remember this and do all we can to become deaf friendly. We must do what we can to ensure that all people are treated properly and with respect. By being a deaf friendly community this is able to happen. It is important that we learn about deafness and incorporate this knowledge into our everyday lives. This way we can make a better society for all.

Do not curse the deaf or put a stumbling block in front of the blind, but fear your God. I am the LORD. – Leviticus 19:14
