陳佳儀 Cindy Chan  2013~ now

為聾人父母所生的健聽子女，成長於破碎家庭。由於聾人群體無論在教育、醫療、就業、婚姻及社交生活，都嚴重缺乏支援配套，再加上社會認知不足，令到聾人家庭面對種種困難。陳佳儀後來因著信仰的呼召，明白到自己的聾人子女身分，擁有獨特的意義和使命。於是2013年創辦屬於聾人子女的自助組織，目的透過聾人子女的自身經歷，關心及協助聾人家庭常見的遭遇。她擁有遠大抱負，凝聚聾人子女團結力量，以及各界有能力人士，為聾人父母及其子女提供適切支援。發揮雙文化之優勢（手語及口語、聾人及健聽文化），成為聾健溝通的橋樑。並由「家」開始，創造和諧共融，促進聾健親子關係，達致「聾健一家親」理念。​

Born by Deaf parents, Hearing children and grew up from broken family. As the Deaf community suffers from a serious lack of support facilities in education, medical care, employment, marriage and social life, coupled with insufficient social awareness, Deaf families face various difficulties. Cindy Chan realized later that she has the identity of CODA with a unique meaning and mission because of her call of religion. Then, in 2013, a self-help organization for CODA was founded, the purpose is caring of and assisting for Deaf families' common situations, through CODAs' own experiences. She has the great ambitions, gathers the unity of CODAs, and capable people from all communities, to provide appropriate supports for Deaf parents and their children. Play the advantages of biculturalism (sign language and spoken language, Deaf and hearing culture), and become a bridge of communication between deaf and hearing. And start from "HOME", create harmony and communion, promote Deaf parent-child relationship, and achieve the concept of "Deaf-Hearing-family".

父母後天因病引致失聰，二人因這緣故在聾人學校，相遇，相愛，組織家庭，生了我~聾人所生的子女CODA，2014年我才發現我有這個身份。我的外表與普通人無異，但我擁有着兩個世界的文化和語言，從小遊走在兩者之間，吃力不討好。但從小就知道有一對很愛我，而又很獨特的父母，手語成為我必然的母語，我看表情，動作，視覺影像，往往比文字快得多了。

從三歲有記憶以來，每逢過時過節，親友家人，千篇一律，提醒我:「父母是聾人，很不容易，你們要好好讀書，他們很辛苦照顧，我要怎樣怎樣照顧，要怎樣怎樣孝順，怎樣怎樣......。」真希望這刻能夠借用父母的耳朵多好，引用一句，啞巴吃黃蓮。

頓時覺得上天賜給父母成為聾人，都是獨特的，雖然他們耳朵聽不到，但是他們內心感觀很敏感，每每都能夠察覺到，給我支持和愛。雖然不是每件事情我都認同，長大後的我，更能夠明白當時的他們，已經盡了最大努力，同樣地我都很愛他們，很快我就學習到報喜不報優，往往所有事情都自己解決，絕不希望讓父母擔憂。現在身為人父的我，育有一兒子，更能理解父母對我的一切，全都記在心頭。

2014年首次認識CODA會，從會員參加活動，義工服務，加入執委會，到現在副會長角色，每一個身份都有不同的挑戰和學習，有時候，真的會有氣餒的時候，力不從心，但都不會改變我加入時候的初心，為聾人子女服務，成為他們的同行者。

我的初心，認識自己身份，了解聾健文化，回顧成長經歷，沉澱，思考，整理，分享，給聾人父母和子女，讓他們早日打開聾人家庭核心價值和文化的門匙，使內心和自信更強大，發揮最獨特的優點，將聾人家庭固有思想，從教育，分享，支援，實踐，配合進行。

在新一屆的任期，我的目標，凝聚一班成年核心聾人子女，讓我們有共同的目標和價值觀，從心出發，感恩我們有著獨特的父母，身份認同，整合經驗，發揮聾人子女的特質，培訓一班曾經走過這路的兄弟姊妹，讓我們能夠啟發年輕弟妹，成就別人。

目標讓聾人家庭更健康，快樂，助己助人，貢獻社會。
​My parents are acquired deafness due to illness after birth. Because of this, the two met at the school for the deaf, fell in love, organized a family and gave birth to me ~ the Childern Of the Deaf Adult (CODA). In 2014, I finally found out that I have this identity. My appearance is no different from ordinary people, but I have the culture and language from two worlds. When I was young, I have been walking through between the two since I was young. It was hard and thankless.
 
Since I was a child, I know that there is a pair of parents who love me deeply and they are much unique. Sign language has become my mother language surely. I read expressions, movements, and visual images much faster than words.
 
From the memory of three years old, every festival gathering, all relatives, friends and family members are the same. Remind me that "Parents are Deaf, it's not easy. You must study hard. They take care of you very difficult. I need how to take care of them, how to respect them, how to do etc..."  At that moment, I really hope that I can borrow the ears of my parents and to quote a sentence “Mute eats coptis”.
 
I suddenly felt that God’s gift to my parents to be Deaf is unique. Although they can't hear, they have a very sensitive perception of heart. They can always detect what I need that give me support and love.
 
Even though I don’t agree with everything. When I grow up, I can better understand their situation at that moment. They have tried their best. Alike I also love them very much. I have quickly leant to report good news, not bad news. Always resolve all things by self and absolutely don't let parents worry.
 
Now I am as a father and have a son, I can understand much more everything what my parents did. All things should be remembered in my hearts.
 
Early 2014, first time knew CODA Hong Kong.  From join to activity as Member, Volunteer to Committee, now as the post of vice chairman.  Each position has different challenges and learning. Sometimes I really feel discouraged and powerless but the first intention doesn't change. To serve CODAs and become their accompany to walk with them.
 
My original intention was to know my identity and understand the Deaf culture. Review my growth experience, precipitation, thinking, sorting, sharing to Deaf parents and CODAs. Let them to open the Deaf family’s door of the core value and culture. Enhance the heart and self-confidence to give play the most unique advantages from the inherent ideas of Deaf families to education, sharing, support, practice, and cooperate together.
 
As appointment of the new Committee Board, my aim is gathering a group of adult CODAs and let us to have same aims and values. Starting from heart, thanksgiving of our unique parents, assure identity and integrated experience, to give full play to the characteristics of CODAs, to train a group of brothers and sisters whose have walked through that way. Let us should inspire the youth brothers and sisters to achieve others.
 
The goal is to make Deaf families more healthier and happier, help themselves and others, and contribute to society.

林國福 Angel Lam  2020~ Now

大家好！我是林國福 Angel，我天生是一名聾人。自從幼稚園起，我早已學習同學們所使用的香港手語，因此現在我也慣用香港手語。我本身很喜歡畫畫、也擅長於電腦設計，閒時做聾人社區的義工。聾人父母組織家庭生健聽子女中，原來有很多人都不知道自己Coda 的身份 。

最近我加入CODA會成為執行委員。我十分欣賞 KODA兒童們的活潑聰明，他們可以輕鬆使用香港手語，就能同我溝通相處。我非常鼓勵香港聾人父母繼續帶CODA孩子們來參加不同的活動，讓他們了解自己 CODA 的身分。從我們交談協助中，我看到幼兒KODA及幼兒補習的需要，我曾用手語為他們補習。我希望他們未來能擔任聾人和健聽人之間的橋樑，為聾人社群造福。另外，有時我會與不同的長者會員用視像通話，協助他們翻譯，讓大家可以得到適切的方案。

我和Coda執委詠恩正在擴展手語義工小組，透過學習手語，香港手語文化交流來推廣手語。希望能夠凝聚更多Coda能夠成為KODA的榜樣，尋找更多資源幫助KODA的學習發展， 一同成長 。

蘇劍雲  Billymarken  ​2013~ now

作為聾人子女，從小接觸手語，原來手語分為家庭手語，與正規手語不同。到中五畢業時，開始認真學習修讀香港手語。不經不覺，我教授手語已經超過十年多了，而手語翻譯更超過十五年，期間經歷過很多風風雨雨，例如爭取地鐵半價、真鐸事件、爭取手語成為官方語言等等，這些都是美好的回憶。現在我於CODAHK工作，負責手語翻譯、教授手語證書課程、協助推廣手語，同時宣揚聾健一家親。

As CODA, when I was exposed to sign language since I was a child. Sign language was originally divided into family sign language, which is different from formal sign language. When I graduated from Form Five, I began to study Hong Kong Sign Language seriously. Unconsciously, I have taught sign language for more than ten years, and as sign language interpreter has been more than fifteen years. I have experienced many ups and downs during the period, such as fighting for half-price of subways, Chun Tok School incident, and strive for sign language becoming the official language, etc.  These were all good memories. Now I am working at CODAHK, responsible for sign language interpretation, teaching sign language certificate courses, helping to promote sign language, and publicizing Deaf-Hearing-one-family at the same time.
