"Stand by Me" not only brings together sterling musical performances but will also demonstrate the blind's ability to use computers at a pre-concert skills demonstration at the lobby.

If you believe that those denied sight should not be denied knowledge, fuel our vision by watching the concert and help an additional 600 young blind adults gain access to computer education. Proceeds of the concert will be for the scholarships of blind students for school year 2009-2010.

About ATRIEV

Since 1994, the only computer school for the blind in the Philippines, Adaptive Technology for Rehabilitation, Integration, and Empowerment of the Visually Impaired (ATRIEV), has been helping blind people gain access to post-secondary education and mainstream employment. So far, ATRIEV is the only NGO that has skillfully woven together private business enterprise and government agencies to support demand-driven programs for the blind.

ATRIEV unlocks the hidden power of the blind thru the use of technology. We teach the blind to operate computers with the use of a screen reader or screen magnification software. To date, we have trained and empowered over 500 young blind adults who have become medical transcribers, computer instructors, web designers, human resource personnel, practicing social workers, entrepreneurs etc. Through the benefit concert, ATRIEV hopes to train 600 more blind Filipinos in the use of computers.
