Time flies.
I basically have two days left in India. Wednesday is my last day — I leave super early on Thursday morning. As much as I love being in India, I’m looking forward to returning to Pittsburgh and having a Five Guys cheeseburger 
.
On Saturday, I went to the Mathru School for the Blind in the morning to attend “Braille Day” where teachers spend time with weaker students to improve their braille skills. It was awesome to observe one teacher, who is blind, teaching a student how to write braille using our Braille Writing Tutor.
I wish I could upload the video but the file is too big for me to post in India. I’ll definitely post it when I get back to Pittsburgh. Here are some pictures:

The teacher went through the different modes of the tutor, focusing on Learn Letters (tutor teachers the student the braille writing alphabet) and Letter Practice (tutor asks the student to write a combination of letters). As a treat, she let the student play the Animal Game.
Please write the name of the animal that makes this sound.
Meeeowww!
Abhish* must have figured out the name of the animal right away, but even before he could write “c” on the Braille Writing Tutor, his classmates yelled excitedly in unison, “Cat! Cat!”
He typed in “c”, then “a”, then “t” on the tutor.
Good.
