Hi behind mails at the moment but I would also wish to join in in expressing
my sympathies. Certainly it is a loss indeed.

Subject: [AI] Sad demise
We have lost Mrs. Behrose Vachcha the founder of the Helen Keller institute
for the Deaf-Blind last week. It is really sad to
see stalwarts like her who have dedicated their lives to a cause go out of
our lives.
I had met her on many occasions and I never failed to see her strength, her
dedication and her vigorously championing the rights of the Deaf Blind.
She thought of the Deaf Blind in an era when the Blind nor the deaf had any
or many rights.
Some of us forget when we talk of Rights based models or the CRPD that we
had institutions like the Helen Keller institute which was definitely based
on charity, helping us, teaching us, building our skills, showcasing
technology and providing us services. Without these institutions we would
not be where we are and lets stop for a moment and salute individuals like
Behrose Vachcha who made these institutions what they are.
