MUA SCHOOL FOR DEAF CHILDREN

" the children's paradise ... "

In 1986 Brother Ludwin Speth f.i.c. initiated a new project for deaf children in Malawi. The existing school and boarding in Mary View, Limbe, could not receive all children that needed special care and education.
In the former buildings of a colony for lepers the late Brother Ludwin, with the help of a group of Sisters SBVM and a number of enthusiastic lay people, many of whom were trained in Mary View, started a new school with boarding for deaf children.
Beautiful buildings were erected under the competent direction of the late Brother Tarcisio van Raay f.i.c.
