Rosemary with the students of The Sri Ram School at the Junta Rehab Center |
Inspiration comes in many ways
and its fascinating when it comes through people who are less fortunate than
us, yet, their strive to live and live as a winner is what makes all the
difference. Today, through Esha we got a chance to visit the Junta Blind
School. It was a heart touching experience for me. All I could do is wonder and
wonder how this blind people, in spite of not having the gift of eyes fight the
odds and try hard to make an independent living for themselves. The initiative
Esha and Junta School is taking to make them self sufficient and employed is
something to be highly appreciated.
In the Junta School we saw how
the blind boys, learn to read and write through Braille, How they learn
extracurricular activities like singing, computer and chair making. The
teachers in the school where themselves blind and where degree holders from
universities. They are actually doing a great job preparing this blind people
for competitive exams and also ready for employment in industries or start
their own ventures.
This initiative on part of Esha
to incubate us in our SIP (Social Innovation Program) by sending us to the
blind school was really successful as it inspired us a lot to understand the
mission and vision of Esha. The compassion with which Esha works for this
people is what we also share now and that will make us better motivated to work
for the organisation henceforth.
