Sabriye Tenberken (German)
Sabriye studied Central Asian Studies at Bonn University. In addition to Mongolian and modern Chinese, she studied modern and classical Tibetan in combination with sociology and philosophy. As no blind student had ever before ventured to enroll in these kind of studies, she could not fall back on any experiences of anyone else so had to develop her own methods to come to terms with her course of studies. It was thus that a Tibetan script for the blind was developed. Sabriye coordinates and counsels the project. She is responsible for the training of teachers and trainers for the blind and initially she taught the children herself. Further she selects and supervises all staff-members. Sabriye is also responsible for fundraising and communication with official and sponsor organisations
