Hellen Keller
Read about Helen Keller.
Helen Keller is a great humanitarian. She deeply cared for the people who were sick and injured. These disabled people could not use a part of their body.
Helen worked for these disabled people all through her life.
Helen Keller was born in 1880 in Tuscumbia, Alabama. Her father was Captain Arthur Keller and her mother was Katherine Adams Keller. Her family was not rich and its main source of income was a cotton plantation.
Helen was quite healthy when she was born. But in 1882 she had a high fever and she became blind, deaf, and dumb. At that time her father was a newspaper editor.
He saw Alexander Graham Bell about Helen. Bell, the inventor of the telephone, was working with deaf children at that time. Later Bell met Helen and her parents. He suggested Perkins School for the Blind in Boston for Helen.
Captain Arthur went to the director of the school Michael Anaganos. Mr Anaganos sent one of his best students Annie Sullivan to help Helen in 1887. Annie greatly helped Helen to communicate.
