The best friend a deaf child can have isn't someone who already knows sign language.
It's someone who's willing to learn.
Friendship begins with curiosity. It grows through patience, understanding, and the willingness to meet someone where they are.
For deaf children, even small efforts like learning a few signs, making eye contact before speaking, or including them in a game can transform everyday experiences into moments of belonging.
This Friendship Day, let's choose to be the friend who takes the first step.
Because inclusion doesn't always start with big actions. Sometimes, it starts with learning one new way to say, "I'm glad you're here."
