Empowering Myanmar's Visually Impaired Community

Mid-term exams were conducted after the Thadingyut holidays, with all trainees achieving good results. Adjustments to the exam system were implemented to accommodate trainees’ needs, such as allowing touch signs or voice responses for those with slower Braille learning progress.

Orientation and mobility skills have improved significantly, with some trainees confidently navigating the school campus independently. Practical daily living skills have been enhanced through regular practice.

Trainees visited Shwedagon Pagoda for a religious excursion, which also served as a stress-relief activity. They explored a night market during the same outing, enjoying local food and gaining valuable social experiences.

Extracurricular Engagements:

The International Day for Persons with Disabilities was celebrated with a school event, where a singing competition was a highlight for many students. Some trainees participated in extracurricular activities such as astrology classes and goalball, further enriching their student life.

Upcoming Goals:
