Helen Keller House

At 18 months Hellen Keller contracted a fever which left her deaf & blind. With the help of her teacher, she was taught to overcome these problems and learn to speak, read and write English as well as German & French. Her example and personality have been a source of inspiration to the handicapped and to those who are not.

Motif:

The green background symbolises her vital interest in life. The motif suggests both the cochlea or the ear and an eye – the two sense Helen lacked.

It also symbolises that great things can be achieved from a small beginning. Like a pebble in a pool.
