Kavita Pipalia, Executive Director of GDAF with Howard Rosenblum, CEO of National Association of the Deaf
GDAF was able to spread the word about services our organization provides by having a booth at the renowned visual language and arts festival affectionally called "Clin d'Oiel Festival" in Reims, France on July 4th - 8th, 2019. GDAF is "on the map" with an international presence!

At this festival hosted in France, GDAF’s collaboration with this worldwide visual language and arts festival was successful. We provided coordinators from Brazil and South Africa to
attend this international festival. Our presence at this Deaf world stage allowed us to deeply listen to many community leaders who helped us understand successful models for Deaf
communities and where we are needed to build on these successes.
