The name may even be unknown, but this Brazilian's work is there to help a lot of people. When she was just 17 years old, Dorina became blind for reasons that no doctor could discover. At that age, she was already a teacher, and decided not to let her blindness affect what she most enjoyed doing: teaching. He used the disability as an incentive to get other people who couldn't see to keep learning.
In 1946, with the help of some friends, Dorina created the Foundation for the Blind Book in Brazil, in São Paulo (which many years later was renamed the Dorina Nowill Foundation for the Blind). This foundation, together with the Instituto Benjamin Constant, in Rio de Janeiro, was the first in the country to produce books in Braille (a form of communication made by touch, which allows the blind to read and write) and to distribute these free of charge. books. In addition, Dorina was always concerned with developing more and more modern ways to facilitate the access of blind people to all kinds of knowledge.
Dorina lived long enough to make sure her name and her work are not forgotten. He left a beautiful example of life and a Foundation that will continue to work to improve the lives of blind people across the country.
