As I was behind 2 hours with my volunteering time, I decided to do 4 hours of days 5 and 6, which gave me a chance to see a different group of students, not the ones I have been working with from the beginning.
My regular group who fancy handball are the majority with down syndrome and a minority of other disabilities such as DASH (Disability in the Arm, Shoulder and Hand) and FADI (Foot and Ankle Disability Index).
But I also met a different group, they were all deaf mute, but despite that, they have overcome those disabilities by learning sign language, as well as they really enjoy playing soccer, since I know nothing about sign language it was pretty difficult to speak to them or even understand them, so the instructor helps me along with them to tell me what they're saying.
Overall it was a nice experience.
