The Cultural Center at the University of Basra celebrated the conclusion of the “Threads of Light” course for teaching sewing in cooperation with the Association of the Blind in Basra and with the participation of a group of blind women.
The Director of the Center, Dr. Abdul Karim Aboud Odeh, said, "Today, the university is witnessing a major and unique event by embracing a segment of blind women, extending a helping hand, care for them, and encourage them by honoring them for this achievement, which confirms the human ability to challenge difficulties and permanent disabilities."
Abboud added - The work and activities carried out by the university are aimed at serving the community and maintaining the connection with all its segments due to its sense of moral and human responsibility towards it, so we must harness all the university’s material and human capabilities and energies to serve this noble purpose to create a new life full of optimism, love and acceptance of the other regardless of physical differences.
