One young woman’s transformative journey

Gauri (name changed), a resident of Shahdara, Delhi first got in touch with us in 2011. At that time, she was appearing for class 10th exams through National Institute of Open Learning’s (NIOS).  She told us that she wanted to do a computer training programme. With the help of our step-by-step guidance, she finally completed a computer training programme from National Association for the Blind (NAB), R.K. Puram in 2015.

Gauri latest connect with us was in July, 2016. She informed us that she was pursuing a vocational course from NAB, Hauz Khas. Her course components include computers, handicrafts, music and theatre. She shared that she had developed a more independent personality and was comfortable moving around independently, outside the home. Her aspiration is to be financially independent before getting married, after she completes the vocational course. Gauri expressed that it was the awareness provided to her by the Eyeway helpdesk that motivated her to forge ahead in life.
