Helen Adams Keller was born on June 27, 1880, in Alabama, USA. At the age of 18 months, she was struck by a fever that left her deaf, blind and mute.
Anne Mansfield Sullivan, a blind graduate came to be her teacher from whom Helen learned the Manual Alphabet by Finger Spelling, Braille, Tadoma Method of reading lips and to speak. Curious, questioning and discovering, Helen became the first deaf-blind person to receive a college degree. She read French, German, Greek and Latin in Braille. She authored 10 books and hundreds of articles and acted in a movie of her own story. Her first book “The Story of My Life” has been translated into 50 languages. Helen became the ambassador for the “American Foundation for the Blind”. She visited 39 countries and gained International recognition as a writer, teacher and lecturer.
Everywhere she went, barriers and obstacles that faced the blind came tumbling down. Her boundless determination and her example of what a person with disabilities could accomplish made her become one of history’s remarkable women. She was awarded the French Legion of Honour and US Presidential Medal of Freedom. She inspired many people and became an exceptional leader.
Her teacher, Anne Sullivan, is remembered as “The Miracle Worker” for her lifetime dedication, patience and love.
