A SPECIAL LAP TOP!

Moshi, Tanzania: A special laptop for a blind student, Miss Paulina, came all the way from Belgium to Lions Club of Moshi Kibo and finally in the hands of Paulina.

The President of the club Lion Inderjeet S. Rehal, popularly known by his nick name "Nitu" and several other Lion members presented the laptop to her with a message that it was a personal gift from Professor Dr. Wim Blonk. The Professor has been a firm supporter of Msandaka Lions Deaf Centre, a special school for the (deaf & dumb) school going children.

More than two decades ago Professor Wim Blonk and his club Lions Club of Ijsedal Tervuren gave a firm friendly had shake to Lions Club of Moshi Kibo and this sign of friendship  turned out to be more than that of "brotherhood". Joint projects were carried out time and again, largely to assist the school and the students. Last year the school recorded its results as the best school.

The school also has computers with special keys suitable for the blind people to recognize the letters followed by sound.
