If it helps, I don't know braille and I play an instrument for a living, so it can be done.

If it's tough to just get people to accept you, I guess that's trickier, but if you can pull out your musical instrument and really impress them, that may open some doors.

Hi! Thanks for sharing your world with us. I am not blind or sight-impaired. I have a couple of blind friends in the US that I help out from time to time and even got to meet one of them in person this fall and was quite fascinated by all the tools they have to navigate their world. That must be incredibly frustrating for you to not have access to those resources. If you need someone to read for you or help you with you French homework, I would be glad to help out in my spare time. We are probably on the same timezone as I am currently on the East coast of the US. I speak fluent French as my second language and absolutely love helping people wherever I can. So if there is a way I could help you with your French over the internet, let me know.

Hi! Blind person from another developing country here. Just want to say I empathize with you and resonate with everything you described

I know someone from one of the least developed nations. Png papua new guinea. It’s very similar. There’s only one blind school in the entire nation. There’s exactly one braillist/braille transcriber. How is it done. At the moment you go ask him or his adoptive mother.. Okay can you braille this for me? He has a person who reads him stuff and he brailles it. he can spend hours doing this at work. I joked with him that he was a human embosser. I hear his education is difficult. I don’t even know if he has the skill to live alone but at 36 he lives with his adoptive family who steals things from him and drives him everywhere. His real family is at the coast of png and so he needs to go to the school in the highlands which is one of the unsafer parts about 1 or 2 miles away from port morisbe png. The school is in a wooden building. They have a braille embosser but it’s so valuable they sort of use it sort of don’t I think the adoptive woman sort of use it for bigger projects like books. They don’t use screen readers much this blind guy I knew is deemed smart because he kind of knows jaws and nvda I think it’s mostly nvda. He told me that not a lot of others knows this stuff most blind people just sit at home and do nothing. He had to go to his blind school to charge his stuff. He was trying to acquire more knowledge for nvda and jaws and his android. He barely knows how to use them but is a very smart blind person in his country. He’s used to teach kids to use jaws.

There’s probably more but I am either forgetting them or he didn’t tell me.

Thank you for sharing. This is worse than I knew.
In the US it is much better, though people still park carelessly on sidewalks—though I believe it’s not out of spite, just people not knowing better.

My only suggestion would be iimigrate if you can but I understand that's not as easy as it sounds.
