Suraj Vishwakarma from Chhattisgarh, a born blind class 7 student contacted Eyeway in July 2018. Him and his parents, a financially poor family has been totally in the dark due to unawareness and misinformation. His father does welding work and mother does sweeping in the municipality for a living. Income, resources and daily living are all issues to this family among their child’s blindness. They have but accepted their ‘present’ and want to bring some changes to their ‘future’.

He contacted Eyeway in July 2018 and the call was regarding hostel accommodation.
