Emad Mubarak Abd El-Raheem is working in Egypt to improve human rights. Specifically he wants to make academic freedom a right for all the students and universities that have censored textbooks and content. They are forced to avoid controversial topics and are not allowed to be creative and learn some of the different things they would like to. He is supporting students by providing legal assistance, educating teachers and administration about this issue, as well as bringing attention to the violators.
George Abraham is working in India and is focusing on the medical attention and full potential of people with disabilities, especially decreased vision or blindness. There are many people in India that are blind or vision impaired that either don't hold jobs or believe they must be dependents because of the viewpoint of their society. Abraham started the Vision Enhancement Center which provides these people with counseling as well as medical attention. They are given the support and the tools to get past their problems with vision and lead successful independent lives.
Ravindranath from India is successfully helping the people, in areas that are ravaged by floods, to be prepared for floods and successfully live and work around them. He has created committees and recruited volunteers to watch for floods and then put out warning signs. He has also helped the people with crops, jobs, protecting their homes, and finding safe water to drink during a flood.

ReplyDeleteI think what El-Rahmeem is doing is great. I believe freedom of the press and freedom of speech is very important in America. In many cases however how much it helps stop possible oppression or stop current oppression is often taken for granted.

-Emad Mubarak Abd El-Rahmeem protects the public from potential controversy or violence by censoring topics relating to it
-George Abraham's idea of medical attention cares for people who have problems in vision which gives hope to these types of oppression(s).
-Ravindranath helps out flood areas which are common in some places. This is a successful venture because the economic growth in local areas depends on this also.

George Abraham is inspiring blind people to LIVE. It's great that he is teaching blind people that they are still their own independent person.
ReplyDeleteI think that it's cool that the first guy is trying to get academic freedom because it's super important for kids to learn about controversial topics since basically everything in the world is controversial so part of being an effective adult member of society is understanding controversial issues and being able to have an opinion and argue its validity
ReplyDeleteI think that what Ravinandrath is doing is great thing. He is helping people to understand that they need to be prepared. He is also helping them to keep going after a flood. I think that is a very good idea.
ReplyDeleteThat is so cool how George Abraham is helping peolpe that have problems with their vision and to help them get back on their feet and help them live their own lives.
ReplyDeleteRavinandrath is helping many people so they don't get wiped from the floods that are common in that area. I think he is doing a good thing by helping other be prepared for natural disasters that might not know how to be prepared.
What Ravinandrath is doing is really great for the people in India. He's not helping just one specific group of people but everyone!
