Special visit

"That Blind Woman" Julie Woods (left) and Blind Low Vision NZ Dunedin  Deafblind co-ordinator Michelle Holland visited Dunedin North Intermediate recently to mark the birthday of deafblind figure Helen Keller.

During a talk and Q&A session at the school assembly, Ms Woods spoke about communication for deafblind people, and about her own experience of becoming blind and her ‘‘why not?’’ philosophy on life.
