Dear All, Greetings from Blind Graduates Forum of India BGFI!
Since we are not organizing our picnic which was scheduled on December 9th due to the feedback received from some of you and the suggestions of our team, we are back with our knowledge sharing session on that same day! Have you ever wished that you could live independently? ? Have you ever wished you manage day to day tasks or be mobile yourself? Have you been waiting to meet with visually challenged individuals who have mastered how to optimize their daily tasks for efficiency? Well, this time we the BGFI team have planned an open discussion to share the challenges we face in our day to day living and come up with solutions to make our lives independent. Everyday life shouldn’t be a struggle, and there are countless ways we can learn to ease this. Join BGFI as we talk with visually challenged individuals to understand how we can all experience such resilience in those periods of time when we are not feeling like we have that strength? We could all use a dose of resilience from time to time. you could share the challenges faced by you and others could share thoughts and ideas on the ways to accomplish our goal to have an independent life. We believe that people facing the same challenges are the best source of appropriate guidance. If you wish to live your life independently or if you think that you are good at some chore that can lead to independence, then come ahead and join us in our discussion Continuing with our series of mobile capsules, this time we will cover Be My Eyes and Ieyed by Aditi Shah. Both the aps promote independent living. Be my eyes is an ap that connects you to sighted volunteers. Eye-D helps visually impaired be location aware, explore and navigate to nearby places of interest, evaluate surroundings with their smartphone camera and read printed text. Date: Saturday, 9th December 2017 Time: 3 PM-5.30 PM. Venue: NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR THE BLIND (INDIA). 11/12, Khan Abdul Gaffar Khan Road, Worli Seaface, Mumbai – 400 030. Let’s make our lives independent together!! Cheers!
