#14 Aser
Aser Milarpes is one of our longest serving teachers at Bicol Deaf Action. I catch up with him in the dining hall at the school with Principal Anabelle interpreting where he reveals to me things that even take Anabelle by surprise…
Doug
Doug is one of the many colourful – and wonderful – characters that make up the DMI global family. So what’s a Canadian audiologist doing in the Philippines for 35 years?
Mary Jane
Mary Jane L. Montero has been in the DMI family since she was an infant and is fast becoming one of our brightest lights.
Anabelle
Anabelle Cuachin is a much loved figure in our Ligau school, leading all the educational operations and initiatives of the classrooms. But my goodness, at times there has sure been trouble in paradise…
No Tuan
This is the first blog I’ve written angry. As I speak with No Tuan, I see the bright potential of a young man cut down by misfortune, familial sin and the evil of a government. A young Burmese man, he shares with me at a Deaf camp we are both attending in Davao, Philippines.
Liezl
Quiet, shy, and heavy-laden yet resourceful, caring and hopeful, Liezl – a Deaf pastor – is an unsung hero, a loyalist to the Faith and a dear friend. I speak to her in the quiet foyer of a hotel in Bacolod, Philippines.
Daniel
Daniel Njihia is the longest serving minister in DMI’s global family. He is truly a legend in the field, a hero of the faith yet few people outside Africa know who he is or what he has done. I’m privileged to catch up with him in his home in Nairobi.
Bing
Bing is the much-loved Director of Bicol Deaf Action. Many students have been nurtured under her leadership over the years and been given sure and blessed direction for their lives.
Fulgence
Fulgence is the youngest member of the team in Rwanda, but that also makes him the most effervescent. There was only one way he was ever going to start a new church for the Deaf…
Lill
Lill Muir is the grand matriarch of DMI. The widow of Neville, she was with him in the beginning and very much the driving force – the heart – behind much of his ministry to the Deaf. She shares her exciting life story.
