World Helen Keller Day, celebrated every year on June 27th, honors the incredible life of Helen Keller, a woman who overcame the challenges of being deaf and blind to become an inspiring advocate for people with disabilities.
Helen Keller was born on June 27, 1880. At just 19 months old, she lost her sight and hearing due to an illness. Despite these obstacles, Helen's determination and the support of her teacher, Anne Sullivan, helped her learn to communicate. She eventually became the first deaf-blind person to earn a college degree.
Keller used her education and experiences to fight for the rights of people with disabilities. She wrote books, gave speeches, and worked with organizations to improve lives and promote equality.
World Helen Keller Day reminds us of her incredible achievements and encourages us to support inclusivity and accessibility for everyone. It's a day to celebrate her legacy and continue advocating for a world where all people, regardless of their abilities, can succeed.
