March 23 Hue School for the Blind

This is a boarding school for blind children and currently has 83 students.
DOVE has been responsible for enriching this school by providing a computer lab and a braille printer.





Gary had a great time interacting with them...as you can see from the pictures.






The young gal in the wheel chair is using the specialized software for the blind.  When you type on the internet it reads it back to you.  They normally work with a headset on but this day she was just demonstrating it for us.







We were happy to see the braille printer as it provides them a way to convert books to braille for them to read and study.



When we arrived for this visit and realized that their computers needed upgrading and it would only cost $600 to accomplish the upgrade, generous pockets opened so quickly that we were able to hand deliver the funds to them just days after their request.
