Usually, the visually impaired person who has the
desire to study a curriculum or a reference, contacts
the initiative administration and provides them with
the books needed. Then, the book is divided into
tasks for a number of volunteers to record them.
They use a Facebook page to announce that they
finished this book or this curriculum, and they use
the You Tube channel to publish the recordings.
The volunteer is not paid, and it doesn’t cost the
visually impaired person anything. Anyone with a
network can have access to their record. Volunteers
need very simple things. They use mobiles for
recording and laptops to do the montage. No
professional tools are needed. Light Initiative’s new
project is turning the Syrian curriculum into Braille.
This will help Syrian students who suffer from sight
problems.
Light Initiative is trying to bring some light into the
visually impaired people’s lives.
Someday people will live in space. By the end of this
century, there will be permanent settlements that will
allow people to lead a normal life in space. Hundreds
of astronauts are going to work and live in the space
station, which will take ten years to build.
Living on the moon will be easier than living on a
space station and; it will be cheaper because people
won’t bring everything from Earth. The space city
will contain buildings, factories and special meeting
places. Inside it, people can breathe and they won’t
need to wear special space-suits inside the buildings.
Scientists also believe that they will obtain water
from a large ice lake on the moon. Robots will do
housework for people. Food won’t be a problem, as
settlers won’t need to eat. Instead, they will take a pill
three times a day. Life on the moon will be just the
beginning.
