Initiated by the New Horizons Foundation in view of the imminent start of the new school year for the two establishments TARII and WISI, the training course on“INITIATION TO WORK WITH THE VISUALLY DEFIICTED” was held from August 08 to 14 under the supervision of Marie-Renée Hector, Director of the Adapted Teaching Department (DPEA), assisted by Louise Mayombo and Katia Agondjo. The course was set up as a refresher for some and a new initiation for others, and was aimed at future team members as well as applicants, without incurring substantial costs. The training program was very practical. The guidelines were as follows: – Basic knowledge of the most common illnesses, what some visually impaired people can perceive , the essential difficulties associated with blindness – Reading and writing in Braille– Calculating– Relief drawing
