Upon visiting The Lebanese School for the Blind & Deaf, Rana Mzayyek from Grade Ten wrote the following:
On behalf of my friends, I would like to thank our school for giving us the chance to see the world from a different perspective: the perspective of the blind and the deaf. At first, we felt sorry for those young children and teenagers, but as we moved around from one classroom to another, we were amazed by the students’ ability to manage their life and earn an education despite the enormous physical challenges they face. On the other hand, talking to them, we found that they are basically just like us, the "seeing and hearing" students. The visit was an enlightening experience and a reminder to us to count our blessings.
