The story of Helen Keller (1880-1968), the first blind and deaf person to be awarded a Bachelor of Arts degree, has long surprised and delighted millions. Left blind and deaf after a disease contracted when she was 19 months old, Keller became a prolific author, human rights activist and an international inspiration.
This is our second exploration of some of her insights…

- Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it. Helen Keller
As always, nice chatting…
