On 23rd January Rtn. Rashida Bahrainwala, President-elect Nanu Iyer and President Aruna Rathi visited SP College on a very special mission – to gift laptops to eleven visually impaired students. The visit was an eye-opener for us. The college has enrolled 50 visually impaired students who, despite their handicap, attend lectures and take exams along with the rest of the students. In their day to day lives, these visually impaired students face immense challenges. All that the other students can do effortlessly, as a matter of course, becomes a challenge for them. Commuting from home to college, going up and down the corridors and staircases of the college, sitting through lectures without seeing the visuals on the board, taking exams with the help of writers --- all these must be hard. But, they learn to overcome the obstacles and aspire to build careers. Something that was very heart-warming to see was the loving care and help they receive from their fellow students and teachers. Thankfully today technology can be harnessed to ease the difficulties of the blind. The college has a special Computer Lab and dedicated trainers who teach these students to become proficient in the use of computers so that they can type their own notes and exams. These skills also help them to get employment. Donations for this humanitarian project were given by Rtn. Rashida’s family. We are grateful to them. We have invited their trainer Ms. Zainab Poonawalla to find out what further help can be given to visually impaired students.
