An authentic account of a spectacular journey. Finally back in KiWi paperback: The bestseller by Sabriye Tenberken, who founded the first school for the blind in Tibet in Lhasa. The children are taught in Tibetan, Chinese, and English, among other subjects; there is also a training center where blind youth and adults are trained in various professions. Sabriye Tenberken, who is blind herself, shares her great adventure, often facing the brink of failure, with much humor and deep affection for the Tibetans and their very different culture. She shows us that being blind is not a disability – anyone who truly wants can realize their own dream. With great empathy, the author manages to open the eyes of sighted readers through her experiences.
