Educating young blind children for a better future

"St. Nicholas Home has many different stories, cases and trainees at different walks in life. As an organization we are really trying to work towards early intervention so people in Malaysia can be more open and have more knowledge on how to prevent blindness. With early prevention we can teach families how to better care for their children with visual impairment. We look forward to partnering with more families and helping them care for their kids.

Amin is one of the kids that lives at home with his family that we have found through Early Intervention. He is apart of our home visits. Every two weeks we go and spend some time with him and his family. We were able to come in contact with him at two years of age. Amin is completely blind, but he is good health with no other medical problems. Although he is very supported by his family, our team helps him to be more independent and makes a way for him to grow and learn normally.

Our plan is to encourage and push him towards more independence and learning more about daily life activities. We are very impressed by the way that his family push him forward and we believe with more training from us that his family will be able to really push him to be an independent thriving young man. These are the cases that we are so happy about. The ones that have stories of families taking part in the work we are doing and allowing our expertise to help them succeed with their children. Thank you for helping our programs so we can continue to focus on Early Intervention. Having others believe in and financially support us helps us to continue our programs. Thank you and please continue to support us."
