Today's role model
HELEN Keller
Born 1880 American Suffragette and civil right activist American
19 months old when got ill and became deaf and blind
People with disabilities were considered a burden to the society that time
Her mom got inspired by Charles Dickens book: American notes
She went to the institute for the Blind
She learnt Braille, finger signing and touch lip reading
She wanted to prove that disable people are not defined by their disability and with education and medical care they can be just as part of the society as the able people
She was the first blind deaf person who got bachelor degree
She met Mark Twain, she wrote several books
She learnt to speak although she couldn't hear her own voice and she became a speaker
Today's quote from Helen:
"Until the great mass of the people shall be filled with the sense of responsibility for each other's welfare social justice can never be attained"
See you tomorrow!
