During the engagement, attendees of the meeting highlighted on a number of concerns and suggestions to broaden their scope including plans to draft and send letters of partnerships to government, agencies and departments, other line ministries like the National Commission for Persons with Disabilities-(NCPD), Sierra Leone Disability Union-(SLeDU), as well as non-governmental organization and philanthropists.


They also spoke about the need to urgently secure an office space to establish their secretariat where some of their elite members will regularly converge to continue to work tirelessly for the general good of their members.

Many other burning issues disturbing their membership, especially the illiterate ones were also discussed and action points were taken into cognizance.

Members were also advised to make themselves useful by embracing both formal and non-formal education, and attendees agreed to enhance the swift adherence of the advice by way of letting them be able to achieve their long term dreams of improving and developing hearing impaired persons in Bombali District and by extension nationwide.
