RC Deaf Missions

RC Deaf Missions, was set up by 2 siblings - Mario and Agnes - who have journeyed several years with the Deaf community.

With over 16 years of active involvement in Deaf community work, Agnes decided to concertize her commitment to the development of Deaf persons and Deaf advocacy rights.

Together with Mario her brother, she registered RC Deaf Missions (the Mission). This way, Agnes knew that she could take her commitment to further heights and reach out to Deaf people from various walks of life, regardless of religion.

When Mario and Agnes set up the Mission, it was with a two-fold vision ie to make a difference in the lives of Deaf persons, and to be a successful service industry with Deaf impact.
