Cooking may seem rather intimidating for a person who is blind or visually impaired. But with proper training and care, it is not impossible.
Starting 25 August 2018, Shirin, who is blind from birth and works as a helpdesk counsellor with the organisation, Eyeway, will hold classes every Saturday in Mumbai. She is always looking for ways to empower blind and visually impaired people and hit upon cooking, which is a basic life skill. "I will be teaching how to make dishes for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Things like tea, poha, how to cook rice and dal. How to use a grinder and an oven. Chopping vegetables for salads, etc. For chopping, we will first hold their hands and teach them how far to keep the handle from their fingers." - Shirin Kheriwala, Counsellor/Teacher For more details go to https://newzhook.com/story/19747 Warm Regards Ramya Venkitesh www.newzhook.com <http://www.newzhook.com> Search for old postings at: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ To unsubscribe send a message to [email protected] with the subject unsubscribe.
