Secondary school student Naomi Jordan wants to see changes in the education system to better accommodate pupils with disabilities.
The Lower Sixth student at Harrison College who lives with dyslexia, expressed her desire at the inaugural Bright for Sight Day which she organised at her school. It featured interactive games and specialised equipment used by visually impaired persons, while raising funds for the Irving Wilson School.
Jordan told Barbados TODAY the initiative emerged after she visited the Irving Wilson School, where teachers highlighted their need for specialised equipment to support students with disabilities.
This visit inspired her Let Me Read project, which culminated in Bright for Sight Day.
Ever heard the saying “it’s better to give than to receive” well that also applies to time. By volunteering we support an organization or cause and make a great difference in our communities. It’s also a great way to meet new people and learn about the challenges they face daily. Consider giving more than just money, give your time !
