• 19 Sep 2023 in Senate: teaching them sign language is very important, more so because of the interactions they have with these children.

• 9 Aug 2023 in Senate: hurt at that time and have not been able to come to terms with what happened. They also said that nobody has talked to them about the issue of compensation.

Even if the ... view
