Ecole Internationale de Mondorf

Suite à l´invitation de Madame Katy Seward, enseignante de sciences naturelles et de découverte du monde, notre président Roland Welter et le chien guide d'aveugle "Lou" ont visité le lundi 13 mars dans l'Ecole Internationale (EIMLB) de Mondorf la classe P4EN.
Après que les élèves aient étudié l'œil humain et les sujets qui y sont liés, ils ont invité un représentant de notre association à parler de la cécité et des chiens guides d'aveugles devant la classe.
Mme Katy Seward est convaincue que les expériences de première main sont plus captivantes et plus marquantes et qu'elles conduisent à un meilleur apprentissage. La salle de classe a été préparée en fonction de nos besoins. La petite-fille Roland Welter est eleve à la classe P4EN. Il a demandé à sa fille de décrire ses impressions. Voici son rapport.

A special School Day !

On Monday, the 13th of March, we had a very unlikely visitor that came in this school.
My Grandfather, Roland Welter, went in the E.I.M.L.B. to give a spectacular speech on blindness and guide dogs.
With the help of his guide dog, Lou, he explained that blindness can be genetical and how you can get a guide dog. The speech he gave was both inspiring and interesting, but more importantly, it helped us understand blindness better.
He told us that he was the president of the Guide dog Association and showed us a comic he made; it was called Peggy and Patch. The outstanding comic was descriptive, funny and surprising.
Next, he introduced braille. He explained how it was invented and why it was so crucial to blins people.
Roland gave out a school book from his child hood, with the combinations of braille and a story printed in it.
Finally, he took of Lou’s harness and let him play with us. It was fun giving Lou cuddles and petting him.
It really was a special School Day !
