This photograph taken on May 6, 2024 shows hearing-impaired students gathering for assembly before the start of their classes at a school run by the charity Deaf Reach, a non-profit organisation working to empower disadvantaged deaf children and youths, in Lahore. At a school for the deaf in Pakistan, the faces of students are animated, their smiles mischievous, as their hands twirl in tandem with their sign language teacher. More than 200 pupils, children and adults mostly from disadvantaged backgrounds, are among the few given a new fervour for life at this inner-city school in historic Lahore.
