Established in 2003 in the metropolitan area of Maryland, Washington D.C., and Virginia, the Metro South Asian Deaf Association (MSADA) supports Deaf communities in eight South Asian countries: Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. Our organization hosts various educational, social and cultural fundraisers for the local community. One of our endeavors includes providing scholarships for Deaf South Asian undergraduate students at Gallaudet University and other universities in the United States. For more information about what we do, please feel free to visit our website.
MSADA will be hosting our 2nd Regional Conference, themed Lotus in the Lone Star, in San Antonio, Texas from December 28, 2023 to January 1, 2024. Our 1st Regional Conference in 2018 was very successful with money raised which was partially donated to South Asian countries.
This year, we are celebrating our 20th Anniversary with our second regional conference. The conference will be held at The Westin Riverwalk Hotel in San Antonio, Texas with 200 expected attendees. This conference will include features as listed below:
5-10 guest presenters for workshops
25 vendors for exhibition
Deaf Youth Leadership workshops
4th Deaf Desi Dandiya (Western Indian dance event)
20th Anniversary Gala
