Sudanese Rehabilitation Center for The Blind

The Sudanese Rehabilitation Center For The Blind In my project of the Sudanese Rehabilitation Center for the Blind I wanted to focus on how this group of people could overcome their disability and prove their capabilities by education and pursuing careers. Being blind could not stop them from making their dreams come true When I first started exploring their center I felt for them, I had many feelings overwhelming me that moments. I was sad for the limited resources of the center and how little it could provide them with. After getting to know those people and watching their activities closely I realized that they have taught me a great lesson in life. Disability is never a physical thing when there is persistence in the heart. Ismail Eltahir Manager of The Sudanese Rehabilitation Center For The Blind ,tells the story of the 1987 establishment.
