Voice from 2021 alumni- Sarna

“At first, I was not confident about myself. Having a hearing impairment, I was not sure about whether I could carry out the role assigned to me. One time, I was given an opportunity to be a moderator – and it was a debate session, on top of it! I was nervous, but I said to myself, “It was OK not to be “perfect”.

ILDC is an opportunity for practicing what I’ve never done. It is OK to make mistakes”. I was happy and eager to get critical feedback from the other participants on how I did it. I think that the kind of relationship we had been building together made me feel that I could learn from trying and getting help and feedback from others.”
