Many Visually Impaired People Benefit from Cuban Rehab System
By CNA
Havana, Oct 22 (acn) More that 1,600 Cuban and foreign students, mostly from
Latin America, have studied at the National Center of Rehabilitation for the
Blind and Visually Impaired People in this capital, which has its 17th
anniversary on Monday.
Classified by Cuban President Fidel Castro as one of the most humanitarian
works of the Revolution, the educational center trains the pupils in the
specialized techniques in the use of the stick, in the Braille reading and
writing system, and in the use of the abacus to make quick and complex
mathematical operations.
Director of the center, Jose Raul Baquet, noted that a classroom for the
teaching of computer sciences has been recently opened, which also gives access
to the students to virtual portals, and international meetings and courses for
people with visual impairments.
The celebration of the anniversary includes a number of cultural activities and
a ceremony to pay homage to those who have contributed to the good functioning
of the institution with their daily activity.
