> Khanh Hoa, May 9 (VNA) - A community-based rehabilitation course for blind
people was opened in Nha Trang city, central Khanh Hoa province, on May 6.
>
> The four-month course aims to improve local blind people's ability to take
control of their own lives in order to help them integrate into the
community. During the course, students will be provided with general
education, vocational training and ways to define directions for moving in
the daily life.
>
> With 50 percent of its funding coming from the Swedish Organisation of
Disabled Persons International Aid Association (SHIA), the provincial
Association of the Blind has so far organised five similar courses for blind
people in the province. These courses have made many local blind people
literate in Braile and helped them become self-employed in making
handicrafts.
>
> In addition to the courses in Khanh Hoa, SHIA will also fund courses in
northern Bac Ninh and Ha Nam provinces for five years.-Enditem
