ALBERTON – Precious Ngwenya has two children who do not speak the same language as she does.
Terrance and Sizalobuhle were both born deaf and both attend Ekurhuleni School for the Deaf. Precious was first interviewed by the RECORD in June about the difficulty which she faces as a single mother of two deaf children. She doesn’t understand sign language and that is the only way which her children communicate.

Precious has been contacted by someone who is willing to teach her sign language and also provide her with books and DVDs about sign language.
“I am so grateful. I don’t know what to say. I am learning more and more every day,” said Precious.
