I was impressed with Helen Keller and the way she fought her disability. I think I was still in the elementary school when I read her story for the first time. The story stayed in my mind, inspiring, encouraging and provoking to do something great.

Ali Al Amri is a completely blind Omani youth. He is currently studying at Sultan Qaboos University in the College of Arts and Social Science. Ali is a technology fan who was never satisfied with Braille system only. He couldn’t stand with the a few numbers of books available for people like him. Rather he was satisfied about being away from networking with people through the social networking tools in this very dynamic and speedy world. Being eager to learn more and walk through the path of technology, Ali was able to put himself in the right place. He believes that technology has become everything for blind people. The online accessibility to newspapers, books and the World Wide Web using modern technologies such as “Screen Reader” allowed Ali to explore the adventures of today’s technologies.
Ali created a special website for the visually impaired to find all their technology requirements, software and advices. This website is specially equipped with modern technologies that help visually impaired to easily navigate and get the required assistance. In fact it allows them to use the computers as easy as normal people do. According to Ali, many visually impaired access his website and got benefited out of it from countries other than Oman.
