Text A An Appeal to the Senses: The Development of the Braille System in Nineteenth-Century France The invention of Braille was a major turning point in the history of disability. The writing system of raised dots used by visually impaired people was developed by Louis Braille in nineteenth-century France. In a society that did not value disabled people in general, blindness was particularly stigmatized, and lack of access to reading and writing was a significant barrier to social participation. The idea of tactile reading was not entirely new, but existing methods based on sighted systems were difficult to learn and use. As the first writing system designed for blind people’s needs, Braille was a ground-breaking new accessibility tool. It not only provided practical benefits, but also helped change the cultural status of blindness Text B The years have passed by In the blink of an eye, Moments of sadness And joy have flown by. People I loved Have come and have gone, But the world never stopped, And we all carried on. Life wasn't easy, And the struggles were there, Filled with times that it mattered, Times I just didn't care. I stood on my own, And I still found my way, Through some nights filled with tears, And the dawn of new days. Source: Text C Dear Noni How are you doing?

(5) Non-electric Portable Slow Cooker Troubled by increasing rolling black-outs due to load shedding in 2008, Johannesburg-based Sarah Collins created the Wonderbag – a heavy-lined bag that can slow cook a pot of food for up to 8 hours after it’s brought to the boil. In addition to helping homeowners throughout Africa, North America, Europe and the Middle East, Sarah is also using her invention for the greater good by donating Wonderbags to those living in rural areas – ultimately saving them time from cooking over a wood fire all day and empowering them to feed their families when resources are scarce.
