Hello! So the question, what’s the biggest challenge? Well, we have government that is supportive and encourages those who have goals bu twhen we have a hearing person in charge and a deaf person. the deaf person can lead but the approach is different. I hope that the hearing person can understand and empower the deaf person to become a leader. Let the deaf person become the leader. I hope they will consider giving them a chance. So the barrier is the deaf person wants to be given the opportunity to lead to stand and lead. But this is not the case. I hope there can be more communication to remind the hearing person to step back and let the deaf person lead. I hope we can reach that.
