Education is the key and a right. So back to Indonesia with a final small excerpt from the full project interview with Weni.

A big man with long Indian-style shirt, grey hair, beard and black-rimmed glasses is hugging the shoulders of a radiant woman with shoulder-length black hair, who is holding a certificate in her left hand. Both are standing in front of a stage; the logo of Sense International India is displayed twice on a screen in the background.

Posting about India: We are delighted to share that Dr. Sini Regi Thomas has received the Sense International India Excellence Award for Best Mentor 2025 (National). Sini is also a member of DbI's newly formed Committee for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion DEICom.

Measles is preventable with just two doses of measles vaccine.

The #measles vaccine has saved an estimated 5 lives every second since 2000.

Perspective: I am
deafblind due to Usher Syndrome, not measles. This is a genetic quirk and my parents could not have foreseen it .
While I live a great life despite having Ushers, I would not wish it on anyone.
There is no way I could live with knowing I created AVOIDABLE deafblindness .

Infographic on a flip chart for the session ‘Tech solutions for deaf and hard of hearing individuals’. With sketches and a few words, the 4 contributions to the session are summarised in a way that is easy to understand.

Group picture of Joseph J. Murray, Pamela Molina and Mirko Baur. Joseph, wearing a grey coat and light blue shirt, is standing in the middle, framed by the colourfully dressed Pamela and Mirko. All three are wearing glasses and smiling at the camera.

What a great idea to make presentations more accessible with situationally drawn infographics. And what a pleasant meeting with the President and Executive Director of the World Federation of the Deaf, Dr Joseph J. Murray and Pamela Molina.

Narrow street in the older part of Kathmandu. Various shops on the left and right, pedestrians, one parked motorbike, in the foreground a cyclist from behind, the zigzag of the bicycle lights across the street. Across the photo the slogan ‘Deafblindness in Asia’. In the upper left corner the DbI logo.

Good evening from Kathmandu, Nepal! We are getting closer to the very first DbI regional conference in Asia! And with that, our primary focus of communication will slowly shift to ‘Deafblindness in Asia’. Stay tuned!

Gene therapy in children with AIPL1-associated severe retinal dystrophy: an open-label, first-in-human interventional study Our findings indicate that young children with AIPL1-related retinal dystrophy benefited substantially from subretinal administration of rAAV8.hRKp.AIPL1, with improved visual acuity and functional vi...

Thrilled to see this monumental work in @thelancet.bsky.social! A single subretinal injection led to staggering improvements in nearly blind children, while behavioural and EEG data from our lab reveal a dramatic boost in function and cortex activity. A major leap for vision restoration! t.ly/fvdQy

On #InternationalMotherLanguageDay, I'm highlighting the 227 sign languages listed in Glottolog 5.1: glottolog.org/resource/lan...
I'd also like to point out that many deaf children do not have access to their national/local deaf community sign language: this is a linguistic human rights emergency.

But have you cited it?

“To me, I booked you an eye test. Love me xx” reads a letter in an open, lilac envelope with a pink heart.

Treat someone special (you) this Valentine's Day. Regular eye tests are crucial for detecting early signs of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). So this AMD Awareness Month, make yourself your number one priority. ❤️
