Devnar School of Blinds...

I got the news that an exhibition is going on that school, so I thought i would visit that school and see how are the things there.

There were many kids studying. Some are half blinds, some are completely blind, some are rich and some are poor. For one kid, one of the eyes was popoping out, some dont open their eyes, for some the colour of the eyes itself different.

Not sure why god should make such creations...atleast physically he can give everything to all.

There are teachers there, whose kid is also studying there, coz the kid is physically challenged. One such kid is not only blind, but also mentally retarded. Some kids are from rich family, and those families financially aid the school. There were 3 foreigners, I heard 2 of them are actually teaching in that school.

They learn using the language called Braille. It is a multilingual code. Any language can be represented using this code. For more info on Braille, please refer, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braille.

Using this code, they have printed Baghavat Geeta, in Sanskrid Language and Telugu scripts, which has been listed in Limca world records.

BTW, oracle is already associated with that school. They are doing volunteer activities there. Met one of Oracle guys there, Anand. Visited their exhibition. It was nice to see their preperations, how do they do, what are they looking for and lot of other details also.

In the evening, they had their culturals program. They have their own music troop, the one who plays the keyboard is completely blind, he plays it so good. Another blind kid was playing drums, he was also amazing.

Telugu music director, KeeraVani had come as a chief guest. The kids were so happy to talk to him. After he left I cud see the kids were discussing among themselves that I asked him this, he said this, he told me to do this, he gave me shake-hand.
