How the community can help
People in the community can help make it easier for your child to find
her way.
Community members can learn to give directions that will help her find
things on her own. Chapter 13 talks about the special help community
members can give to a child who cannot see well.
People can also put landmarks in places that will help your child
find her way or know where to turn. Each village or neighborhood is
different, so you and your community will have to decide what things
are right for your child. Here are two examples of landmarks that can be
community projects to help a child who cannot see well:
Putting posts or other
markings where paths cross
can help your child find
her way.
Putting a guide
rope or rail can
help your child find
her way.
