Mr Anthony Muthembwa from the Kenya Institute of Special Education describes the Deaf culture as the social beliefs, art literary tradition, history, values, and shared institutions of communities affected by deafness and which use sign language as the main means of communication.

The deaf community tends to view deafness as a difference in human experience rather than a disability. Mr Muthembwa also introduced us to the Kenya Sign Language (KSL), an incredibly humbling experience for me.
