I started Gateway to Elation to share these skills to other blind people in Zimbabwe and around the world. I by no means not an expert but I share my experiences and what I know with Gateway to Elation participants for the betterment of the lives of blind Zimbabweans. mobility and social interaction skills are added to prevent blind people from being nerdy. being totally blind myself, I believe my experiences can be understood by other blind people - whether born blind or who became blind later in life
