ConnectHear: How three students are paving the way for deaf and mute people | The Express TribuneThree students are attempting to transform the way in which the deaf and mute people are received and perceived in Pakistani society; namely not as people to sympathise with and feel sorry for, but rather people who have their own identity and be included in the wider society.
