Hi everyone, *Listen to the stories of people living with visual impairment on the Inclusive Stories Channel <http://www.inclusiveplanet.com/en/group/1388574>.*
* * Have you ever thought about what inspired you to take the most difficult decision in your life? Think about it and you will realize that it's the stories of people that you have met or heard of that serve as the strongest source of inspiration! Stories of our parents, role models, and people that we admire! So we thought: why don’t we use our Inclusive Planet to bring together stories told by visually impaired people? There are so many strong and amazing visually challenged people who have achieved so much in their lives! Why don’t we encourage them to share their stories with us? Let’s ask them to tell us about the challenges that they have faced in life, education, while looking for employment, about their aspirations and advice they can give to others. So we started creating short videos of people telling their stories in order to share them with all of you on Inclusive Planet. You can listen to the first stories on Inclusive Stories channel<http://www.inclusiveplanet.com/en/group/1388574>now. And every week we will upload more and more inspiring stories! Don't forget to share the link with your friends and family! You never know the impact one short email from you can have on another person! Do let me know whether you would like to share your story.
