Not here

“Just not here, I was so afraid that I would get here, and I dreamed not to get it,” a man who confuses his own incoherent words, almost all his teeth fell out, and after five minutes of conversation with a correspondent he would be led back to the camera. He is a serial killer, for the last time on the street he cut a woman with an ax, and the case is happening in a colony for life -sentenced “Black Dolphin”. Here is a cannibal who ate his victim, because it was interesting to taste the human woman, and then stuck dumplings from it and sold it on the market, here is a gang that lured people into a car service that killed them to take away cars and buried the bodies right under the floor. Often a new crime is committed here - for example, they kill a neighbor in the cell - just in order to have fun and change the unbearable atmosphere for several months at the pre -trial detention center. And then - again here. With one neighbor for decades ahead, without the right to correspond, without the right to lie on the bed during the day, without the right to even look in the face of guards.

And if suddenly an innocent turned out to be behind such a lifelong bars? And did this innocent in the camera not only without a neighbor, but without light and without a single sound? Forever? And it is impossible to break out of such a camera?

There are about a thousand such people in Moscow alone. I'm talking about blindbie. You close your eyes - darkness, wake up - darkness again. Not a sound flies into the camera - the leaves do not rustle, the phone does not call, the sun does not get up and does not come in, and even your mother’s voice can only imagine, but not hear. Personal personal prison. This is not treated. This is for life. Single camera. You are your thoughts, sometimes the memories of the world of color or filled with sounds. There will be nothing more. You can fall in love, but you won’t know what your loved one looks like - moreover, if you are blind and deaf at an early age, you can’t even tell him “I love you”, because you will not learn to say either.

Personal personal prison. This is not treated.

There is only a touch in your personal chamber. A special alphabet for the blind - the ABC Braille, and now, as it turned out, there is a keyboard with the ABC Braille even for iPhones, not to mention programs for ordinary computers that make it possible to go to the Internet to blind people.

I was distracted - my iPhone called. Press the button, run a finger on the screen - and here it is a menu. And if you are blind and deaf and do not even hear the sound of unlocking - what is it?

Here is a description of our favorite toy, made by a dazzle-and, in my opinion, this thing is stronger than any user manual and reports about the line for a gold phone in Paris.

“The iPhone is a smartphone, only sensory, performs the functions of both telephone communication and computer (though with a limited memory of memory). Of course, on this “super” device, it is necessary to launch an already built-in program-“spoke” called Voice Over and turn on the “Blutuz” function so that the iPhone is “connected” with the Braille display , and to set up accordingly individually for yourself. I must say that at first it was unusual, because the structural construction on the iPhone and on the computer is slightly different. I also did not immediately learn to correctly perform gestures-commands on an iPhone, for example, triple tapping with three fingers on the screen to switch the darkening function or a swing with three fingers to unlock the entire device. With the help of Sergei Vladimirovich, she learned to do the most necessary and simple: to call, recruit, send and read SMS messages, emails, drive up new contact, I can use the video call. All operations, of course, helps to carry out the Braylev display ... I returned home “Mobile-Coarse”, and my “iPhone-Afona” threw new puzzles. I am to Alexander Gogulan, my partner in a brutal song and dancing. He quickly corrected all the misunderstandings with Athos with light movements of his fingers. Sasha taught to use the WhatsApp chat and other new programs ... Of course, so far I do everything slowly, but I hope that over time I will be faster ... I just have to stop there. Now I am interested in how, with the help of an iPhone with a Braille display and “GPS navigation” you can independently navigate and move in any area ... ”

I already said that this is not treated?

We do not collect money for iPhones for blind men

And no, we do not collect money for iPhones for blind men. In fact, it doesn’t matter to them - an iPhone or a simple “Nokia”, a fashionable Mac or a simple computer - the main thing is that the Brill keyboard is connected, and that they know how to use it.

The project “ Teaching computer literacy of blind men ” involves the purchase of the most necessary equipment and the payment of the teacher’s work, who will teach them how to handle it.

Impenetrable barrier that separates them from the world

We are talking about professional teachers from the creative association "Circle" , created by deaf -blind people who are engaged in lifelong accompaniment of such patients. We need to collect enough money for a annual course for several dozen “students”, with whom they will deal with both in the very center and at home. They will be taught to work with the Braille alphabet and use the computer - not only for communication on the Internet, but also to work with folders, files and various programs that will help them, for example, get a higher education. Computers and iPhones will give them the opportunity to easily communicate with other people and break through that seemingly impenetrable barrier that separates them from the world. With the help of computers, they will be able to read many books and stop depending on a thin stream of paper publications.

Money is needed to pay the labor of teachers and purchases computers with programs that translate the letters and symbols to the Braille language to us.

We cannot save unfairly condemned for life on sitting alone without light and sound. This is not the court decision that a person is able to cancel.

But we can help some of them at least briefly leave this damned camera.
