RAYS (Raise Awareness about Your Skin) Project for Albinos in Malawi

Today, I received 2 boxes of donated Grade 1 & Grade 2 used braille books from ClearVision.

"ClearVision is a UK postal lending library of mainstream children's books with added braille. Our books all have braille (or Moon), print and pictures, making them suitable for visually-impaired and sighted children and adults to share."

These books will go to the Ekwendeni School for the Blind in Malawi. Shipment will be done along with the other items (expanded later) in late-May/June.

(The albino children in the northern region of Malawi attend this boarding school with the blind children)

The used braille books are still in very good conditions! Thank you ClearVision!
Oh, the excitement!

Right now, the credit-card magnifiers are in the post, on the way here!!

This is all very exciting!

About death

Tears, idle tears, I know not what they mean,
Tears from the depth of some divine despair
Rise in the heart, and gather to the eyes,
In looking on the happy Autumn-fields,
And thinking of the days that are no more.

Fresh as the first beam glittering on a sail,
That brings our friends up from the underworld,
Sad as the last which reddens over one
That sinks with all we love below the verge;
So sad, so fresh, the days that are no more.

Ah, sad and strange as in dark summer dawns
The earliest pipe of half-awaken’d birds
To dying ears, when unto dying eyes
The casement slowly grows a glimmering square;
So sad, so strange, the days that are no more.

Dear as remember’d kisses after death,
And sweet as those by hopeless fancy feign’d
On lips that are for others; deep as love,
Deep as first love, and wild with all regret;
O Death in Life, the days that are no more.

Alfred Lord Tennyson
