Hello Everyone,
Our communication team uploaded the following news articles to the Eyeway website: 1. Indian blind football team set for international tournament http://www.eyeway.org/?q=indian-blind-football-team-set-international-tourna ment Although blind football isn't very well known in India, a team are going to the Thailand Open Football 5-A-Side Tournament 2013 in Bangkok - the first time an Indian team will participate in an international football event. 2. Railways to provide Braille signage in coaches for visually impaired passengers http://www.eyeway.org/?q=railways-provide-braille-signage-coaches-visually-i mpaired-passengers As a part of its social commitment to make the Railways more friendly towards specially abled passengers, Indian Railways has decided to provide Braille stickers in coaches to facilitate visually impaired passengers. (I know Avinash sent around the TOI article to colleagues. This story was picked up by a wide number of media outlets. I have chosen this one because the TOI one seemed to have opinion in it, and this one is purely factual). 3. In Jharkhand, kids' eyes bear brunt of poor diet http://www.eyeway.org/?q=jharkhand-kids-eyes-bear-brunt-poor-diet Work taking place in Jharkhand to combat preventable blindness in children, which seems to be poverty related.
