September is Deaf Awareness Month, a time to advocate for inclusivity and support for the Deaf community. The Geratziotis brothers and their initiative Connect Deaf play a key role in Cyprus by creating solutions that bridge communication gaps. Their work ensures equal access to services and promotes awareness of Deaf culture. Great to see CYTA in Cyprus also recognizing this important cause!
