In close co-operation with CLaSH (the Association for Children with Language Speech and Hearing Impairments of Namibia) PENDUKA hosted a glass beads making workshop. The workshop was facilitated by trainers from Ghana (Cedi and his brother Kudjo Owuso).

The idea for a glass bead project was born in 2004. CLaSH realised the need for income generating projects for deaf adults. Children, who had previously attended the CLaSH pre-school unit and now left school, came back to CLaSH looking for work or training.

Thanks to a donation of LHL (the Norwegian Heart and Lung Patient Organisation), Penduka TB acquired four brand new bikes for the project. The bikes will be used for visiting the TB patients at home and to trace defaulters.
