Get behind Mahdlo pairs' silent #GiveFromHome challenge

The Mahdlo team have been teaching their young people about the importance of sign language during Deaf Awareness Week

Two of the Mahdlo Youth Zone's members, Charlie and Mackenzie, are taking on a #GiveFromHome challenge to raise money for the charity venue.

They are taking on a sponsored silence for eight hours, which the team insists will be quite a challenge for them!

The Mahdlo team has also been teaching their young people about the importance of sign language during Deaf Awareness Week.

Their Ability Coordinator Amy set up a sign language challenge each day - the first was to sign your name.
