A team of visitors from the French Embassy – Nairobi were ushered into the Thika Primary School for the Blind computer lab several weeks ago by the school head teacher Mr. Jotham Makokha. The purpose of their visit was to learn how computers were being used to empower the blind and visually impaired students.
After a brief introduction of who we are ( inABLE) followed by a review of assistive technology in IT, a tech-savvy student named Mwololo took center stage to show our French Embassy - Nairobi visitors how visually challenged students navigate the web. Being an avid football fan, Mwololo decided to visit his favorite website - supersport.com – to find updates he missed during the holiday. After learning about his favorite teams, Mwololo moved on to the daily nation news, where he again sought out the sports segment, giving a clear indication of his sincere love for football.
As it turns out, football was a shared interest. Mwololo and the visitors had an enjoyable exchange. Everyone was impressed by Mwololo’s computer skills.
InAble thanks our French Embassy – Nairobi guests Faloince Lacroix, Cland Frey, Julian Mark, and Phantus Wambiya – Kenyan for their interest in how blind and visually challenged learners are using computers to develop their IT, current events, and social networking skills.
