On Tuesday, the Rotary Club of Buckhead Georgia invited inABLE Executive Director Irene Mbari-Kirika to speak about the impact of their donation of 10 flat-panel computers for low vision and special needs students at Thika Primary School for the Blind in Kenya. Irene expressed the gratitude of the students, teachers and community, reported computer learning advancements, and encouraged the Rotary Club to continue supporting inABLE's Computer Labs for the Blind educational programs in Africa.
