The subject of blindness and education has included evolving approaches and public perceptions of how best to address the special needs of blind students. The practice of institutionalizing the blind in asylums has a history extending back over a thousand years. Indian Association for the Blind (lAB), based in South India and are a well-known non-profit organization working to provide education, employment, training and rehabilitation for the visually challenged from rural areas.
Late Mr. S.M.A.Jinnah, the visually challenged activist and a group of like-minded visually challenged people founded IAB in 1985. Since its inception, IAB has educated and rehabilitated more than 19420 visually challenged children and youths mainly from rural areas of Tamil Nadu.
Our students of grade 12 who appeared for their board exams have once again proved their hard work and dedication in achieving 100% result. Also, this is a hat-trick in achieving centum results. We are so happy to share this great news with the philanthropists through global giving. Kudos to the students and teachers who made this possible. Great thanks to the supporters and well-wishers of IAB who are behind the success of these kids.
Through GlobalGiving we gained numerous donors across the world and this leads to raising our fund through $13,213 by 160 Philanthropists. We feel so grateful for the tremendous increase in the funds which we can utilize to literate numerous kids. Our institution is providing vocational and adaptive training, as well as grounding in academic subjects offered through special formats.
A combination of necessary training tailored to the unique needs of each student, and solid academics, is going a long way towards producing blind and visually impaired students capable of dealing with the world independently. So, we look forward to raising more for this cause. As always, we, along with Global Giving, will do our best in reaching out to generous donors across the Globe and will strive to bring happiness to the face of each of our beneficiaries.
