Sabriye, who had lost her sight at the age of twelve as the result of a retinal disease, promised herself early on that she would never allow her blindness to turn her into an invalid. When she heard of a place where sightlessness was practically akin to leprosy, the decision was instant: she would go to Tibet to help these children.Armed with nothing but her conviction and determination, she single-handedly devised a Tibetan Braille alphabet and opened the first school for the blind in Tibet, with only a handful of students. From its modest beginnings, that school has grown into a full-fledged institution for visually impaired people of all ages. In this updated edition of \u003ci\u003eMy Path Leads to Tibet\u003c\/i\u003e, Sabriye, shares the inspiring story of how she shone an unlikely light in a dark place.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcade Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/06\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781611458893\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.50w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e76500 \/ My Path Leads to Tibet\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.3 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Upper Grade \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Sabriye Tenberken","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43166117331125,"sku":"9781611458893","price":12.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_d7fb9db3-e758-4d1b-a485-0b4949502a40.jpg?v=1696920592","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/my-path-leads-to-tibet-the-inspiring-story-of-the-blind-woman-who-brought-hope-to-the-children-of-tibet-9781611458893","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
