WFH will be part of the program at grand IFHOH congress in Vancouver

Yesterday it was announced that World Flight for Hearing will be part of the program at the big international hard of hearing conference in Vancouver (Canada) next year (2008).

Johan Hammarström will be in charge of the presentation that will include several lecturers from all over the world and the topic will be "being hard of hearing in different parts of the world".

Participants in the speech will also be Ahiya Kamera (President of the hard of hearing organization in Israel - Bekol) and Duong Phuong Hanh who is a Vietnamese and working with disabilities in Ho Chi Minh City. Possible there will be another lecturer from another part of the world involved in the speech as well.

The speech will be a 90 minutes session and include a 20 minute asking session.

J'étais le seul Africain ressortissant Camerounais(Afrique centrale) à suivre avec attention toutes les étapes du vol pour entendre un projet initié par mon ami Johan, qui est Malentendant comme moi.
c'était comme des miracles,car cela m'a donné à moi même l'espoir de revivre et de réussir encore un jour dans la vie.
J'avais réuni beaucoup de jeunes camerounais qui souffre de surdité à mes côtés et nous avons prié et organisé une petite fête ici au cameroun le jour de l'attérissage de johan.
Cette journée reste un souvenir inoubliable pour moi.
Bravo à ce garçon qui continue de lutter pour la cause des enfants Malentendants.

Will you be flying the Twin Star into Vancouver? We are only a short flight from there and located at the Redmond Airport (RDM) It would be nice to meet you. How is the Oxygen System working for you? Best regards, Robert Jamieson
