Bullying And Stuttering: Why A Fundraiser Was Created?
The coordinator of the African Stuttering Center, Dieudonne Nsabimana, says: "Students in schools in East Africa are being mistreated for having a stammer, as their teacher does not know enough about it to offer effective support. From being bullied by the teacher to facing a worse punishment, these behaviours are having the opposite effect that someone with a stammer should experience, especially within a learning environment. This must stop. By giving resources for stuttering to teachers. they will acquire the necessary skills to better assist students who stutter in the classroom, students at school will be fully equipped with the knowledge needed to ensure that those in school who have a stammer will be able to flourish academically and personally without intentional or unintentional mistreatment. We are collecting donations for the African Stuttering Centre (one minute video) " Watch a short video here
