We Invite You to Share the New Light with Us
How You Can Help
World Access for the Blind delivers dozens of invited workshops,
public awareness events, private trainings, and assistive technology
throughout the world each year. Our new and unique method teaches
people to see without sight by training the brain to gain detailed
images of the world through sound and touch - like lighting a match
in the dark. Blind and sighted students taking control of their
lives by our approach continues to become more remarkable and
inspiring. Blind kids become more confident and active; parents more
savvy and effective; blind adults more self-sufficient; blindness
professionals gratefully become more knowledgeable with higher
standards. The examples set by these people are bringing greater
awareness to the public about the strengths of blindness, the real
barriers confronting blind people, and awareness of the wherewithal
within us all to challenge what we think we know, to perceive
ourselves and our environment better, and to live with No Limits.
Thanks to broad press coverage, heightened public and professional
interest in our approach, and generous support, we continue to help
blind children and adults globally to improve their quality of life,
to challenge poverty and social isolation, and to realize their
dreams.
But we continue to need your support in order to bring our unique
message and training to blind and sighted people everywhere who
suffer needlessly from ignorance and prejudice, and from deflated
belief in themselves and their worthiness to achieve. Still rampant
is the belief that blind people must live by borrowing the
charitable eyes of others, and by awkwardly feeling their way
through the dark with doubt and uncertainty. The unemployment rate
still remains at over 70 percent. Yet blind people holding good job
and accomplishing great things prove that no one need suffer from
poverty or rejection.
Your contributions and generous support from others will allow us to
expand our programs to reach out to over 37 million blind people
world wide to dispel prejudice, inform ignorance, and enable blind
people to see without sight. More blind people will walk with
purpose and dignity through their lives as more blind kids learn in
school and play freely with other kids, more adults find gainful
employment, more blind people find companionship and camaraderie,
and more people everywhere understand that blindness is not an
affliction of weakness and limitation, but an opportunity for
learning to see in new ways toward achievement, growth, and mutual
prosperity.
