Helen Keller was born on 27th June 1880 and she was an American author and educator who was blind and Deaf. Her education and training represent and extraordinary accomplishment of persons with such disabilities, especially in the 1800s.
Helen Keller’s personal accomplishment was developing skills never previously approached by any similarly disabled person. She also lectured on behalf of the American Foundation for the Blind, for which she later established a $2 million endowment fund.
We have Helen Keller as one of our role models in the Resourced Provision as she represents the ability to aspire and achieve, despite personal barriers in her life.
