Hallo Jo
I will say Blind persons at the universities in our country have been
receiving raw deal most of the time.
it is the students to form a formidable force and be against this
terany expressed by administrators.
My brother the current fruit of even persons with disabilities joining
with minimum grade of C Plus we payed the price for it.
you have to sweat and help the future generation.
I am certain for sure the university of Nairobi has not yet embraced
disability mainstreaming.
Much respect to my friend and lecturer Oduour who is trying his best
over ther but the sudents themselves need to up there game.
it is even just recently when the "sonu" constitution recognized
persons with disabilities.
I urge you to be proactive and make your voice to be hard.
you might save another generation the way we deed during our times in
the compass.
Look for KU folks and they will share with you what we used to do.
Unity of purpose and create necessary awareness.
Don't give up.
you can change
you can start a campaign!!!!!!!!!!!
