Twenty-five-year-old Abbas Jamil was born totally blind to a low income family living in Delhi. Abbas has two sisters who are also blind by birth. His father was burdened with raising four children, with special care for the three visually impaired kids.
 
Fortunately, Abbas was admitted to a special school run by Blind Relief Association in New Delhi. Here he acquired the necessary reading, writing and mobility skills. Encouraged by other visually impaired students and teachers, he was keen on making an independent future for himself.
