The text.

People in many countries knew Helen Keller. She was born in 1880 in Alabama, the USA. For the first 19 months she was a pretty and happy baby. Then after a sudden illness, she became deaf and blind. Soon she forgot the old world and got used to the silence and darkness. Helen spent her time in a type of “no world”.

Helen used to say that her real birthday was not June 27, 1880, but March 3, 1887 – the day when Anne Sullivan came into her life. Miss Sullivan was a teacher from the Institute for the Blind in Boston. It was difficult for Anne Sullivan to work with Helen because she was an uncontrollable child. Miss Sullivan taught Helen to spell words: she tapped the letters into Helen̒s hand. Helen learned to read, to write and even to speak! More than that she learned to swim and to ride horseback.

Helen Keller and Anne Sullivan travelled widely. In different countries they raised money for the blind. The life of Helen Keller showed the world that people can overcome their troubles. People respected Helen Keller for her work with the blind, the deaf and the speechless.
