This is my first post in this blog.
I am writing this blog after I got to know the problems of visually challenged people to prepare exams, getting scribes and to clear the exams through a great person fb(Give hands to poor), even though he is younger than me.
Let me talk about him here, he is pursuing C.A. But his part time activity is to help the visually challenged people by conducting classes and arranging scribes to them. He has done a tremendous job in providing scribes to these students by contacting each and every individual in many NGOs using facebook and other social networking channels and overcame many challenges such as no access to internet, not having a PC or laptop, issues with old nokia mobile and at the same time managed his studies. His vision of helping all visually challenged people in every NGO needs a special mention. Not only that, he goes to the samarthanam NGO almost everyday to teach the aspiring students and help them recording their subjects.
Now to the actual topic.
I was not aware of the efforts made by the visually challenged people to prepare for the exam till I get to know from Srinivas.
Visually challenged students spend hours in recording the lessons dictated by volunteers and keep on listening to them for days to remember the contents. As they cannot read the books themselves, they seek support from volunteers. These students make strong bond with the volunteers in their heart as they cannot see them and believes them completely. They cannot tolerate the pain of betrayal by the volunteers or others. It is very hard for them to adjust to new volunteer until they regain the lost confidence in people.
In our world many students complain that they do not have enough resources or teacher is bad or not getting enough time. But these students do not have the option. They have to struggle a lot to recognize the voice of new volunteer and record voices , replay the audio to remember.
Another challenge is, after all their hard work in studies, to get a scribe to write the exams on their behalf.
Pain is more when the volunteer who promised to the visually challenged person drops out in the last minute.
