David Lai, spent the summer at Brevard Music Center honing his piano talent. Nobody can deny Lai’s skill, which he mastered even though he is living with blindness. Playing the piano has enabled Mr. Lai to traverse obstacles in his life since childhood. Lai’s vision loss stems from oxygen therapy at birth; he was born 10-weeks premature with underdeveloped lungs.

“Find your interest, your passion in life. And to never give up and to hold onto your dreams and never give up," Lai said.

SDCB offers many programs that can assist people living with blindness.
