Sport Empowerment with DEAF. Empowerment project is to strengthen and bring out the voice within the inner voice of children from diverse social circumstances. Today too many of our Deaf, hearing impaired and person with disabilities children face lower self esteem and hardship: due to lack of facilities and information in marginalise community.

DEAF ,Hearing impaired PWD Children should be empowered so that they can develop a solid sense of self worth and self respect. This translates into them being to take charge of their lives in a more positive manner and thus strive for a better life situation. For children from disadvantaged backgrounds, empowerment works towards breaking the cycle of poverty.

The increasingly our Malaysian lifestyle has resulted in a growing number of overweight and out-of-shape school-age children. Deaf children are not exempt from this trend, yet there is little evidence that public school programs for these children are doing anything to counter it. Even through assist by our normal children assistants much can be done to assist deaf students and adult PWD, not only in becoming more active movers but in gaining knowledge of opportunities and benefits associated with Deaf sport. The sports will expose deaf children to the role of sports in the Deaf community and for designing programs that will enable these children to become active participants in GOLF sport activities as athletes and organizers, or, later in life, when they no longer have the inclination or ability to compete, as spectators, with all the socialization benefits that form of involvement provides.

The sport movement’s activities will help neutral pathways by releasing chemicals in the brain to stimulate and balancing the emotions for persons with disabilities. Anyone can become a great athlete. Since there are many sports this world has to offer, All really need time to practice and love the sport. Children with hearing impaired determined and dedicate their time as well as life will achieve success. Golf sports are very high profile game and this sport will help DEAF and hearing impaired to building up and upgrade their lifestyle.
