Trevolin is Deaf and Determined to Break Barriers of Communication

Uncategorised /

While Trevolin Pillay describes himself as “just a simple Deaf person from Chatsworth, KwaZulu-Natal”, he is also determined to break the barriers of communication between the deaf and hearing in this world.

He was born profoundly deaf, but has not allowed that to deter him or define his path to success. He was the top learner in all the grades in school and received many awards, including the DUX award.
