Sir,
Let me first be glad about this new endeavor being made towards extending
the wakefulness about blindness amongst the people now through TV channel
after the radio program.
If you have any episode that includes any area of independent living at home
then, May I suggest?
A large number of people in India are still oblivious and unaware of
personal independent living of a visually challenged person in domestic and
personal life. Sighted people either have no information or have many
erroneous conceptions on how a blind person takes care of his dress, body
and other personal grooming at home. For an instance: many of the sighted
folks don't believe whether a visually impaired boy can shave and make his
beard inn a decent manner on his own.
Similarly, they get astonished when they come to know that we are able to
cut our nails and all. There are many such questions to the mind of sighted
people like how we manage in wash room, how we take bath, how we wear shirts
and other clothes, etc. I gravely believe these questions and doubt need to
be addressed via live manifestation on the TV. I am sure people in large
would be aware of our living style after this presentation.
Since I got an opportunity to record a few interviews for your radio program
in the past, I would say please let me know if I can be of any small help to
this new sketch too.

Subject: [AI] Eyeway TV Serial!
Dear Friends!
We are happy to share with you that we are working on a 13 part TV serial
for nationwide telecast. The serial aims to create awareness and
sensitise
the masses on the potential and the possibilities with life with
blindness. The serial will cover various themes like education, parenting,
employment, law, technology, art and culture, sports and recreation and so
on. The idea is to establish that we the blind persons are as human as
anyone else and can be part of the mainstream National life, if we are
seen
as potential resources for the country and are invested in.
We need to move away from being people who should be provided for and
looked after to people who can contribute to the National Economy.
Parents,
the Society and the Nation must have expectations of us and hence must
provide us with quality opportunities to evolve as Indian citizens.
We would like to collaborate with Access India as a source to generate
content. I have spoken to the moderator and he believes that this would be
a meaningful partnership.
Access India has over 2000 members from across India and the possibilities
of coming up with interesting case stories, innovations, experiences and
so
on are immense. I will send out separate Emails for each of the 13 themes.
How do you guys feel about the venture?
Best
George
