Campaigns

• Programs for sightless students can help children outside of the Athens area
• There are no facilities for in-residence students at the Kalithea facility
• We hope to buy a building and refit it for in-residence dormitory living for sightless students

• There are large underserved populations of sightless in Ipiros and Crete
• The School has identified two locations, both near universities that offer easy access and public transportation
• We hope to establish annexes in Ioannina in Ipiros and Iraklion in Crete

• The Lighthouse for the Blind has established a basic website in the past 2 years
• Traffic to the website has confirmed a great interest on the part of sightless all over Greece to get help with education, services, work-aids, etc. www.faros.org.gr
• We hope to create a program of E-Learning and in Braille using the website and specialized equipment for the sightless who can not visit our annexes or main facility

• The Lighthouse for the Blind started a pilot program for 4 multi-handicapped children several years ago
• The program has been a resounding success. Pieces are being sold and are on exhibit in several galleries
• We hope to expand the program to include a minimum of 10 multi-handicapped adults with a focus on developing facilities and support services to allow them to excel in art ceramics
