Dear All, Please find the below Daily Eyeway Alerts: 1. News- Visually-impaired to get free computers for their children Amid dates being set for Class 10 and 12 board examinations, students face countless problems with online classes and studying from home. The situation is even tougher for rural students. In an effort to sighted children of visually-impaired parents in rural areas, a local NGO distributed desktops to them. Chennai: Over the past week, the NGO, Nethrodaya, which works with visually-impaired people to empower and enhance their lives, distributed six second-hand desktops to sighted children born to visually-impaired parents. According to the founder, Govinda Krishnan C, the computers were distributed at villages in Tenkasi, Uthukottai, Ennore, Nekundram and more, to Class 7 to undergraduate students. “Online classes have been difficult for all students. Sighted children born to visually-impaired parents have to face the challenge of preparing for these exams on their own. While there are TV channels like Kalvi Tholaikkatchi and other resources available, having a computer and access to the Internet will equip them better for the exams ahead,” said Krishnan. Krishnan said facilities like this are crucial to empower families of disabled people, especially their children during the pandemic. According to one parent, Subbulakshmi, this will be crucial in the days ahead of the examinations.
