| This 1-year project was jointly funded by IAEF (Indian American Education Foundation) and PPI to set up a Computer center for the deaf-blind children. IAEF is funding computer hardware software needs up to $9,000, and PPI is funding the furnishing of the computer room suitable for deaf-blind students to the tune of $1,940. HKI is the first organization in India and Asia to start education services of this nature for the deaf-blind children. It offers education and rehabilitation services with a teacher-student ratio 1:1. Computers have been found to motivate such children, and have also helped to improve concentration and use of their residual vision and hearing. |
