Sudan`s Invisible Heroes
As part of my ongoing project, at The Sudanese Rehabilitation Center For The Blind ; I photographed the math class asI always have been curious about how this subject is taught to people with vision problems.This curiosity made feel that i have to give a helping hand .As a photographer all i can give is my vision through my camera’s lens.I believe that photography can change lives; so I decided to help raise funds through bringing up the challenges faced by blinds using social media to serve this cause.The center is in need for equipment and learning tools among many basic needs. The center`s budget is not sufficient to buy newer equipment, and teachers wages are very low.Many volunteers working with the center are driven by empathy and willingness to help and support the blind,their dedication and great effort are not recognized by the public.The center`s students are working very hard and many of them had acquired many skills.These people are warriors and do not know what the word obstacle means.They have developed visions of their own with the help of their teachers. This is a tribe of warriors, Sudan`s invisible heroes.I have been documenting the life of these amazing people since 2015 and it is still ongoing.Along the way of capturing the moments of their beautiful demonstration of resilience I became part of this institution. I made friends with many of these visionary so called blind people;and their heroes ,their dedicated teachers.I found my self eager to learn Braille, I started teaching myself and became more interested , in living their experience with them.My friends there promised to teach me and I decided to volunteer.It is clear to me now that there is a different kind of light which the non blind cannot see.
