Laughter echoes through the hallways of St Vincent School for the Deaf in Johannesburg every Saturday as a community of hearing people gather to learn a language that is spoken in total silence.

After a long week of teaching kids at the school, the head teacher of the group, Veronica Tesner, selflessly offers her time on the weekend to run free Sign language lessons for anyone who would like to come.Her intention was to stay for a few months.

For those who remain with Tesner, the themes of the lessons often model the types of conversations that people in the group might want to be having with their loved ones. Lessons help hearing people communicate with deaf people. They are also an opportunity to learn about deaf culture.William Brederode/News24
