On the occassion of the Gozo Association for the Deaf’s 20th anniversary, the Minister for Gozo, Giovanna Debono, inaugurated an art exhibition which was held in the Exhbition Hall at the Ministry for Gozo. This collective exhibition included art works done by various local artists. Their participation served as a way to further inform and educate the public about the association’s purpose and endeavours.

During a short address, Minister Debono congratulated the G.A.D, which is also a member of the Gozo Federation Persons with Disability, for the initiatives it has been implimenting during these past twenty years. Minister Debono said that the Ministry for Gozo is aware of the important role played by the voluntary section in Gozo and added that the Ministry for Gozo will continue to give its support to the diverse organsations and associations whose work provides the Gozitan society with an invaluable service. Minister Debono also mentioned the initative taken by the Ministry for Gozo a few years back which involved the setting up of the NGO Centre in Xewkija, Gozo.

During these last twenty years, the G.A.D, has worked hard to reach its final goal. It has done this by helping those people born with hearing difficulties to learn how to live independently as well as to facilitate their social integration. The association offers its services from its central offices in Santa Domenica street in Victoria, Gozo and also organises meetings for people with hearing problems and their families. At the moment there are around 250 members hailing from different localities around Gozo as well as Malta.
