During this thanksgiving and holiday season, the Vision-Aid team warmly wishes for you, and your family, the very best that life can offer.In this season of giving, we wanted to reach out to invite you to consider giving the valuable gift of time. We are looking for individuals, who want to make a difference, to join our team and help bring light into the lives of the visually impaired. For over 10 years, we have been offering vision rehabilitation programs to low-income, visually impaired children and adults in India, which is, unfortunately, home to the largest number of visually impaired individuals in the world. It is a great opportunity for the more fortunate amongst us, to make a difference to these individuals. We’re gratified to have been able to humbly offer our services to visually impair through our innovative programs in 6 locations in India, with 2 new locations being added in 2016.
We are a 100% volunteer driven organization. We are always looking for additional passionate and committed volunteers, who can join our team and help with various tasks, including the following: ·
- Join our team of teachers to teach programming to the vision impaired (knowledge of the Python programming language would be ideal)
- Support the design and delivery of Spoken English classes (Prior experience in teaching and curriculum development would be a plus)
- Help us with technology initiatives – hardware and software development.
- Support web site development (for a Joomla – based web site) ·
- Helping with various program and administrative tasks such as creation of newsletters, outreach etc.
