關於講者 About the Speakers
Caroline CASEY
17歲報名參加駕駛課程之前,Caroline Casey從不知道自己屬法定失明。一直過著無障礙生活的她,相信每個人都有不同的能力。 憑著這個信念,Caroline達成了三個夢想:開賽車、騎大象橫過印度、創辦自己的企業。2006年,Caroline成為愛爾蘭第一個愛創家伙伴,同年也被選為世界經濟論壇的全球青年領袖。Caroline也是國際知名的演講者和冒險家。
Caroline CASEY was born legally blind but was not told so until she took driving lessons at age 17. Having lived, and is still living, her life as a perfectly abled person, she believes in the value of difference and the ability of people with disabilities. Caroline managed to achieve all her dreams -- driving a race car, trekking across India on an elephant and founding her own business. In 2006, Caroline became the first Irish person elected to be an Ashoka Fellow and Young Global Leader of The World Economic Forum. She is also an internationally renowned speaker and adventurer.

賴超娣 Alice LAI
賴超娣出生時,視力還是正常的,到了三歲,由於角膜發炎,她的視力開始漸漸模糊,現在,她僅能分辨顏色和光暗。
賴超娣是一位全職秘書,兼任“黑暗中對話”導賞員。縱然她眼不能看,加上關節炎,她還積極地參與義務工作,包括擔任視障人士福音中心的副主席和訓練員,以及到醫院探訪等。曾有一位斷肢的病人見過Alice後,深受感動,立志不再放棄生命了!賴超娣的使命,就是成為冬天的太陽!
Alice was born with normal vision and began to lose her sight since the age of three due to cornea infection. Now, she can only see light and distinguish colours.
She is a full-time secretary and freelance tour guide for Dialogue in the Dark. Despite her blindness and congenital arthritis, Alice is active in voluntary work. She is Vice Chairman and trainer of Christian Ministries to Visually Impaired Persons, and visits hospital patients regularly. A patient in an orthopedics ward once revealed that his life was spared after being inspired by Alice’s positive attitude. Alice finds herself so blessed as she always enjoys leading a purpose-driven life -- sunshine in winter!
