Quite amazing indeed!
We also have our very own at the University of Nairobi. He is studying medicine!
The gentleman (I'm ashamed I've forgotten his name), has no vision at
all in one eye and very limited vision in the other. He is registered
with the NCPWD as a PWD.
I met him last year and he says he may soon have no vision at all.
Currently he can read some print albeit with some strain.
He has some very intriguing experiences to share; seek him out!
Kind regards,
Fred Haga.

What an inspiring article! Goes to remind us that where there is
adequate support, persons with visual disabilities go places. Here we
are wondering if we can handle a few charts and graphs, yet one of us
is graduating as a medical doctor; and he is not the first: in the
1970s my English teacher, Mrs. Linda Humphreys, read for us an article
about another blind American who had graduated from medical school.
While our constraints here in Kenya are certainly more intimidating,
we must keep the fire burning.
