See Me; Braille Education for 10 Blind Kosovars

A project that keeps on giving

Lendrit is currently attending 5^th class in the regular school, despite being partially sighted. His mother, Leonora (in the picture above), is separated from her husband and living on her own in rented accommodation with Lendrit and his sibling. She is concerned that he is falling behind because of his disability. The Blind Society in Gjakova have helped Lendrit with new glasses and with enlarged texts so the learning can be easier for him. He has come to our center in Gjakova three times so far, being tutored by the professional teachers there. But he is certainly a very bright child who needs additional help. The Ideas Partnership has funded this project for quite a while now, depending a lot on the generous private donations. Lendrit needs your help so his disability won’t be on his way to the bright path of learning.

From your generous donations, we have been able to support five children to complete Braille classes up to date. Sadik, Alaudin, Besjana, Rinor, and Elfete have all completed successfully the classes offered by the Society of the Blind. Of these, three (Sadik, Alaudin, Elfete) are attending the residential school for the blind in Gjakova. Rinor is attending mainstream school in the village where he lives in Prizren.

With your help, we can offer more weekly support sessions for other children who are a part of the program and also other kids who are not receiving the help they need.

Support The Ideas Partnership’s project so we can offer an equal opportunity for education to the blind children!
