Hi Kanchan, Have got the contact number of Anandvan blind school, its in Chandrapur, dont think so will be able to visit it this time. Will be speaking to them to apprise them of this meeting.
Yes, the idea of this meeting is to inform and motivate them enough to provoke their action oriented thoughts. Also meeting and networking with others of their region who have done well in life would help to sustain their good morale. As you said: they do not have a choice but to get trained, even if desired trainings are not available in the region. One needs to move out wherever it needs to go, rather than limiting oneself in a state/region. thanks, Pranay Gadodia | Programme Manager Project Eyeway - A knowledge resource for living a fuller life with vision loss C/o Score Foundation, 17/107, Basement, Vikram Vihar, Lajpatnagar 4, New Delhi 110024, INDIA.

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.
