RADIO INTERVIEW 12 March 2008 THE NEW YORKER (July/28/2003) In his last letter, Goethe wrote, "The Ancients said
that the animals are taught through their organs; let me add to this,
so are men, but they have the advantage of teaching their organs in
return." He wrote this in 1832, a time when phrenology was at its
height, and the brain was seen as a mosaic of "little organs"
subserving everything from language to drawing ability to shyness. NEW YORK TIMES (Sept 2003) HONG KONG MORNING POST (October/13/2003) German Sabriye Tenberken lost her sight in her teens but
never felt blindness was a handicap. Through her Braille Without
Borders organisation she is helping others like her in Tibet think the
same way, writes Tschang Chi-chu Blindness is sometimes compared to
being in prison, the darkness acting as a barrier to the outside world. XINHUA NEWS AGENCY (October/30/2003) LHASA, October 30 (CEIS) - For their work in setting up
a Tibetan
rehabilitation and training center for the blind, Sabriye Tenberken and
Paul
Kronenberg, a couple respectively from Germany and the Netherlands, are
well
known and respected by the people in Lhasa, capital of southwest
China's
Tibet Autonomous Region. |
