Sorry about the duplicate and triplicate mails. I am having a connection
problem so I feel that the mail hasnt gone but actually it has.
OK Rajesh, please check if Anand Van needs money for training. I have the
resources from a Trust which will be happy to pick up the costs of the
teacher for a year. Can we find someone good who will stay there and teach
the young kids and the older ones as well?
Will will you find someone to supervise and set the currivulam? I dont want
to waste resources but I am happy to try if Anand Van wants to. Please would
you initiate the dialog.
I loved the place. I saw blind children smiling even at age 6 even when
their parents had discarded them. If we give them extra training from
childhood maybe they will not need a government job or even if they get a
government job they will know the technology to handle their jobs.

Somehow, kanchan, your messages are striking the list thrice!
Yes, anandvan did some good work for VI a while ago, but unfortunately,
they have since at least for the time being, discontinued the computer
training for the blind/disabled, perhaps due to lack of funding......
The girl teaching there is now in Nagpur ITI conducting a government run
six month computer course for blind.
That's the only computer training facility in orange city and around for
the VI, even though a few persons have successfully taken training through
mainstream institutes and have passed certificate exams as well..
So, let us make the people of Vidharbha aware and build some useful
infrastructure for training/education as well.
I too appeal to one and all to respond positively to this one day event in
May.

You must visit Anand Van i.e. Baba Amte's place. I will send you the
phone
no. of someone working there. I think Rajesh also knows her.
I have been very interested with the work done there. I think they are
doing
something really great.
Also please tell all the visually challenged that after the High Court's
recent orders the visually challenged are going to have technology
provided
by the State govt at their work place so they have to learn technology
before they go to the jobs. No more excuses of sitting idle and not being
allowed to do anything.
I have been speaking to organisations around Maharashtra about training
but
I dont see much interest maybe because of lack of resources. However there
is no choice and the visually challenged will have to get trained.
Also when you speak to people please emphasise on software like NVDA and
Dolphin and not so much on JAWS.
Whoever had this brilliant idea of going to the interiors of Maharshtra in
peak summer is brave.
Good luck to the team.

Subject: [AI] Awareness building workshop in Vidharba, Maharashtra
Hi all,
We would be visiting Vidharba region in Maharashtra between 16 to 18 May
2011.
Our objectives are:
1. Conduct a day's workshop with blind/low vision people, with the agenda
of raising awareness level on education, career, technology, services,
laws & provisions etc towards enabling them lead a fuller life. As a
first
choice, we plan to organise it in Amravati, it being a central place in
the region.
2. We want to know the services available, the achievers in the region,
and others in the sector. So we plan to visit some places in Amravati,
Nagpur, and if possible Akola and Wardha too.
Our friend from Nagpur, Rajesh Asudani is working with us to organise the
workshop, and also has given us few contacts of NGOs & people.
We would be happy to receive inputs from others too from Vidharba. Also
do
spread the word among others you think might be interested in the above.
People and organisations interested to meet / attend the workshop can
contact us.
thanks and regards,
