SAVIOR of the BLIND

Louis Braille

A winked of an accident had changed his life. Before he was a jolly, happy and a mischievous kid, till one day the most terrible thing to happen to a person’s eye which is to lose the sense of sight that occurred in his life, He was hopeless to see the light of God’s creation again.

Someone like him will feel sadness and regrets. But, No, he stood up bearing the word “COURAGE”. He told his parents to like him g0o to school because he felt like being imprisoned. At first his father was against his decisions, he was ten years old then, so his parents’ couldn’t imagine if how he can manage himself in the midst of darkness.

He’d reached his young manhood with his strong desire to read books and to learn more and want to be out of his shell. In spite of blindness he thought of away that could free him from being prison. He indeed wanted to experience the reality of his world where, he belongs.

There were a lot of tools and equipments which were invented precedent from his blindness. He was motivated and determined to modify the tools used before. Like the embossed letters in a book that made too heavy and costly for a poor blind. He was inspired, by his own story and the lives of others who are in his society as well. He studied in Paris, so he left Coup ray his own birth place to enroll in the school of blind.

He became a teacher and he heard a news that a French army officer invented a “Night Writing” which has a consistent series of dots punched into the paper to warn some of the armies about their enemy. He had a strong feeling that “this is it!” that this could be the doors and windows for their liberty. Till one day he had come up with a code system of writing for the blind community he calls it Braille System which came from his surname and the Man who is behind this, who saved and lighted the lives of Blind was Louis Braille.

A story of a boy give us lessons, that despite of being blind he still strive and find his right path by being determined to reach his endeavors and his vision to his community. He saved them and broke the walls of darkness, to see the greatest creation of God and it was through books.
