In 2011, we helped present laptop computers to five post graduate students at the Blind School in Guntur.
We also worked on motivating them to prepare for job hunting. Over the last eight years, four of them were
able to use the laptops to gain more knowledge via internet, using JAWS software that converts reading
material into audio. They say the laptops gave them access to latest information and technology in their
respective fields and improved their confidence and chances for suitable employment. One by one, four of
them got selected for very good jobs - Anand in a Pharmaceutical Firm in Bangalore, Gopichand in State
Bank Of Hyderabad, Balaji as a Computer Instructor and more recently Kiran in Canara Bank. Anand and
Gopi have also married eligible girls and happily settled in life now.
They all say the laptop was a blessing for each of them and was a turning point towards this kind of bright
future! Their feedback touched our hearts and made us realize how a small and sincere act of kindness can
produce unbelievable results if the receiver puts in his or her best effort! We are so proud of each of these
boys and wish them all the best!!
