✨ Speak with Your Hands – Sign Language Training Workshop 🤟

The “Speak with Your Hands” Sign Language Training Workshop, jointly organized by the Sociology Society of the University of Ruhuna and the Sumaga Ruhunu Circle of the Deaf, was successfully held on the 5th of February.

The aim of the programme was to build a communication bridge between persons with hearing impairments and the wider hearing community. Participants gained basic knowledge of sign language, everyday communication methods, and a deeper understanding of inclusion.

Marking the opening of the event, the Head of the Department of Sociology, Dr. Gayathri Wijesundara, warmly welcomed the participants and explained the objectives of the workshop.

Following this, the Chief Executive Officer of the Sumaga Ruhunu Circle of the Deaf, Mr. Kasun Chandana, emphasized the importance of strengthening engagement with the Deaf community and expanding sign language awareness within society.

The training session was led by Mr. Kalum Indika, who introduced basic signs and daily communication techniques. Mr. Harid Hamudu further supported the workshop through practical exercises, helping participants build confidence in using sign language.

Active participation and group activities made the programme lively and meaningful. The workshop served as an important step toward improving understanding, respect, and sensitivity toward the Deaf community.

🙏 Our special thanks go to the UNOPS Sri Lanka – Vriddhi for sponsoring this event.

We look forward to continuing such initiatives to build a society with fewer barriers, where everyone can connect and participate.

Speak with Your Hands – Sign Language Training Workshop 🤟

University of Ruhuna සමාජවිද්‍යා සංගමය සහ Sumaga Ruhunu Circle of the Deaf එක්ව සංවිධානය කළ “Speak with Your Hands” සංඥා භාෂා පුහුණු වැඩමුළුව පෙබරවාරි 05 වන දින සාර්ථකව පැවැත්විණි.

මෙම වැඩසටහනේ අරමුණ වූයේ ශ්‍රවණ ඌනතා සහිත පුද්ගලයින් හා ශ්‍රවණය ඇති සමාජය අතර සන්නිවේදන පාලමක් ගොඩනැගීමයි. ඒ සඳහා සංඥා භාෂාවේ මූලික දැනුම, දෛනික සන්නිවේදන ක්‍රම සහ inclusion පිළිබඳ අවබෝධය වර්ධනය කිරීම මෙහිදී සිදු විය.

වැඩසටහන ආරම්භ කරමින් සමාජවිද්‍යා අධ්‍යයනාංශයේ අංශාධිපති ආචාර්ය ගයත්‍රි විජේසුන්දර මහත්මිය විසින් සහභාගී වූ සියලු දෙනා උණුසුම්ව පිළිගෙන වැඩසටහනේ අරමුණු පැහැදිලි කළාය.

අනතුරුව Sumaga Ruhunu Circle of the Deaf හි ප්‍රධාන විධායක නිලධාරී කසුන් චන්දන මහතා විසින් Deaf ප්‍රජාව සමඟ සම්බන්ධතා ශක්තිමත් කිරීමේ වැදගත්කම සහ සංඥා භාෂාව සමාජය තුළ ව්‍යාප්ත කිරීමේ අවශ්‍යතාව අවධාරණය කළාය.

සංඥා භාෂා පුහුණුව මෙහෙයවමින් කලුම් ඉන්දික මහතා මූලික සංඥා සහ දෛනික භාවිතා ක්‍රම හඳුන්වා දුන් අතර, හරිද් හමුදු මහතා ප්‍රායෝගික අභ්‍යාස මඟින් සහභාගී වූවන්ට භාවිතයේ විශ්වාසය ලබා දුන්නා.

සහභාගී වූ සියලු දෙනාගේ සක්‍රීය සහභාගීත්වය හා කණ්ඩායම් ක්‍රියාකාරකම් නිසා වැඩමුළුව ඉතා සාර්ථක එකක් බවට පත්විය. මෙය Deaf ප්‍රජාව පිළිබඳ සංවේදීතාව සහ අවබෝධය වර්ධනය කිරීමට වැදගත් පියවරක් විය.

🙏 මෙම වැඩසටහන සඳහා අනුග්‍රහය ලබා දුන් UNOPS Sri Lanka – Vriddhi ආයතනය වෙත අපගේ විශේෂ ස්තූතිය!

අනාගතයේදීත් මෙවැනි වැඩමුළු හරහා බාධාවන් අඩු, සියලු දෙනාට සම්බන්ධ විය හැකි සමාජයක් ගොඩනැගීමට අප බලාපොරොත්තු වෙමු.

Empowering Communities, One Skill at a Time

The Sumaga Ruhunu Circle of the Deaf successfully completed the Bead Seed Jewellery Training Programme, supporting Deaf communities across Matara, Galle, and Hambantota to build essential livelihood skills and strengthen economic independence.

We were honoured to welcome Deputy High Commissioner Gabrielle Isaak, who recently visited our programme and recognized the importance of creating accessible, sustainable livelihood opportunities for the Deaf community. Her presence and encouragement added great value to this initiative and inspired our participants to continue building strong futures.

Through this training, Deaf women and youth learned hands-on techniques in jewellery design, production, and small-scale entrepreneurship—opening new opportunities for income generation and long-term financial stability.

Thanks to the generous support of the New Zealand High Commission, Sri Lanka Fund, our organization was able to bring this valuable project directly to the community, ensuring full accessibility through Sri Lankan Sign Language and a safe, inclusive learning environment.

While challenges in livelihood and economic opportunities continue, with the right support, Deaf communities can thrive, lead, and build resilient futures.
This programme is another step forward in empowering individuals to create sustainable livelihoods, strengthen families, and uplift entire communities.

At Sumaga Ruhunu Circle of the Deaf, we are committed to creating pathways for:
✅ Economic empowerment and entrepreneurship
✅ Inclusive vocational training
✅ Accessible education and sign language–based learning
✅ Stronger, self-reliant Deaf communities

Real change begins with one person, one family, one community.
Together, we can create a future where every Deaf individual has the opportunity to succeed.

Join us as we continue building a brighter, more inclusive tomorrow.
