[Blind-international-students] im not blind I just can't see

[Guido Corona]

Cute platitude, but.... My apologies.... But if you can not see, you are
blind. If you do not know it yet, you may be failing to come to terms with
factual reality.

 

I further suggest that direct canvassing on this board is not appropriate. Be
forewarned.

 

Regards, G.

Helping Blind People a Nonprofit Organization By Blind Zabeehulllah

 

Im Not Blind I Just Can't See.

 

Assalaam Alaikum wrwb.  My name is Zabeehullah Faiz, I am 22 years of age.  I
have been blind since the age of ten.  As the founder and president of
Helping Blind People (HBP) organization, I am delighted to announce that HBP
has come to fruition.  The Idea of the organization existed in my mind for a
few years, but had to wait until we were ready to launch the organization.
Now is a crucial time to reach out to those who need this help the most, so
we begin.  Being blind, I have faced many challenges.  Yet, I felt the need
to be persistent to move on and use my talent and abilities to succeed and
help the less fortunate blind individuals in the poorest areas living in
harsh living conditions.

A very personal incident recently prompted me to start the organization.
While in Pakistan, I was touched and shocked to meet a blind man that had to
choose between acquiring knowledge and beg to provide food and shelter for
his family.  He begged and received roughly $7 per day, but people would
steal what he had and he would go home with about a dollar and change if he
was lucky.  I knew then that having been nurtured in a family that could
afford to take good care of me.  It made a huge difference in my life.  My
goal now is to reach out to the under privileged blind people that don't have
the option of seeing what is on the other side of the tracks.  To reach out
and lift them up by helping them with tools that will help build their
self-worth and self-esteem, so they can have the tools that will allow them
to do much more than begging and/or caged at their homes.  They just need an
institution or an organization to help them.  Insha'Allah, HBP will support
them with your help. 

Join me in support and together, we can do so much for the blind community
and give them 'a hand up' and not 'a hand out'.  While 'hand out's' are
common and can almost not be avoided as they need to exist in many
situations, our mission is to work hard and support the blind community by
giving them the tools and education to take care of themselves.   While this
may seem like a simple task with pre-existing help in most of the Western
World, there is still much needed help in many communities both in the West
but more so in the third world countries.  Where, children have to decide
between going to school and going to beg for money to help support their
families. In some cases schools cannot accommodate the blind or they just do
not even exist!

            Helping Blind People Organization's goal is to open institutions
and help the blind individuals in Pakistan to start.  And also the Helping
Blind People Organization wants to provide food, health, education and a
place to live.

            We hope that you will open up your hearts and give to this
organization for these very deserving people who are in need of our support.
