The Development of the Braille System in Nineteenth-Century France The
invention of Braille was a major turning point in the history of disability.
The writing system of raised dots used by visually impaired people was
developed by Louis Braille in nineteenth-century France. In a society that
did not value disabled people in general, blindness was particularly
stigmatized, and lack of access to reading and writing was a significant
barrier to social participation. The idea of tactile reading was not entirely

Text B The years have passed by In the blink of an eye, Moments of sadness
And joy have flown by. People I loved Have come and have gone, But the
world never stopped, And we all carried on. Life wasn't easy, And the
struggles were there, Filled with times that it mattered, Times I just didn't
care. I stood on my own, And I still found my way, Through some nights
filled with tears, And the dawn of new days. Source: Text C Dear Noni How

increasing rolling black-outs due to load shedding in 2008, Johannesburg-
based Sarah Collins created the Wonderbag – a heavy-lined bag that can
slow cook a pot of food for up to 8 hours after it’s brought to the boil. In
addition to helping homeowners throughout Africa, North America,
Europe and the Middle East, Sarah is also using her invention for the
greater good by donating Wonderbags to those living in rural areas –
ultimately saving them time from cooking over a wood fire all day and
empowering them to feed their families when resources are scarce. [55] 1.1
