THE PLANETARY POST·JUNE 2, 1968
Helen Keller Dies at 88
Helen Keller, the well-known writer and educator, died yesterday at the age of 88. Helen Keller was a model for people around the world.
Helen was born in 1880 in the United States. When she was nineteen months old, Helen fell ill. She had a high fever that made her blind and deaf. Before her illness, Helen was a bright and happy girl. After she lost her ability to see and hear, she became difficult and wild. She often shouted and cried.
In 1887, a young teacher named Anne Sullivan, began to help Helen. She spelled words on Helen’s hand with her fingers. At first, the words didn’t mean anything to Helen. Then, one day, while Helen was playing in some water, Anne spelled WATER on Helen’s hand. Suddenly, Helen understood. That day, she learned many more words: mother, father, sister and teacher. Anne was filled with pride.
As Helen grew older, she made a lot of progress and learned to read. She had special books with letters that she could feel with her fingers. She also learned to write and even speak. When Helen studied at university, Anne sat beside her. She listened to the professors’ words and spelled them on Helen’s hand.
After Helen finished university, she visited many countries. She spoke about her life. She was very famous for her courage and hard work. She did her best to help others in the community who were deaf or blind. She tried to live her life without any regret.
She will be greatly missed.
