Computer Training for the Blind

Our partners at the Nepal Association of the Blind recently informed us that they had managed to arrange for some computers and a classroom for blind students to learn in at the local university. Unfortunately though, they did not have enough to pay for a teacher. Fortunately SHN was able to step in and pay for a part time computer trainer for an entire year!! This will benefit not just our students, but many other young disadvantaged blind people in the area. They will begin their 3-month computer training courses in February and we are looking forward to receiving our first emails!
