With a leap of faith, I moved to India from USA in September 2016 to launch a project- Centum-GRO Initiative (Advanced Skills training in New Delhi). I assembled an outstanding team of 9 Deaf experts from USA and India to design a curriculum for a unique course - 'Deaf Empowerment and Leadership' - and implemented it with innovative and deaf-centric teaching methodologies.
