Helen Keller
What hope do you give a child who becomes blind and deaf before she is a little more than 18 months old? A baby whose only form of communication is through hysterical laughter or violent tantrums - her condition caused by a brain fever. Most would write her off but this little girl was fortunate enough to have someone who believed that she could overcome those barriers and reach her mind.
Helen Keller was born in America in 1880. Before she was 2 years old she was struck down by a brain fever that shut out the world. Incredibly, through the persistence and love of her teacher, Anne Sullivan, Helen learnt to read braille and write using a special typewriter. Blessed with the determination and courage to go beyond the limiting nature of her condition she reached out and touched the world with her mind.
Eventually she graduated from college with honours and then dedicated her life to raising money for the handicapped through her writing and lecturing. This remarkable woman overcame the obstacle of being denied two of the senses most of us take for granted and lived a fulfilling and rewarding life. She died just before her 88th birthday in 1968.
You may wish to take a look at the website of Helen Keller Worldwide (in New York) where her work lives on.
