Hello accessindians. I am Aarthi. I am a blind Mauritian girl of 24 years old. I became blind at the age of 14 as a result of the glaucoma disease from which I suffer since birth.
When I lost my sight ten years ago: I attended a school for the blind where I learned Braille. I can read and write bothFrench and English Braille Grade 2. I pursued my studies as a blind person with the Braille system. I used both Braille transcription and soft copy texts. I am computer literate as Ifollowed an IT course at the NationalComputer Board of Mauritius. I did my tertiary studies at the University of Mauritius. I am an Llb holder. I am now looking for permanent suitable employment. It is very difficult as even the authorities in the person of the Ministry of Social Security has no idea of what structure and facilities must be arranged for a blind employee doing administrative tasks. Most blind people in Mauritius are employed as receptionist. I am among the few blind people in Mauritius who has been at University. Last week I met the Chairperson of the Development Bank of Mauritius. The latter is analysing the possibility of awarding me a post within the administration of the Bank. As I know Harish Kotian who is the moderator of accessindia and who works for the Bank of India: the Chairperson of the Development Bank of Mauritius asked me to write down a research paper on the facilities that the Bank of India has put in place for Harish as a blind employee of the Bank. My request to accessindians is asfollows: can anyone of you who knows exactly what technological support and facilities I may suggest the Development Bank of Mauritius to provide me with: please share his or her knowledge with me. I am in need of these information. You may reply to my request on the mail of accessindia or to my personal email if you feel like. My skype ID is: aburtony001 and my emial personal address is the one on which I am actually sending this email to you. I thank you sincerely. Aarthi.
