It is on this plane that the metaphysics of help is revealed: the educator is obliged to support their student in fulfilling their humanity. Such an attitude is exemplified by the founder of the Society for the Care of the Blind, Mother Elżbieta Róża Czacka, who helped her blind students to release all of their resources and abilities, especially those hidden and marginalised ones, to make them lead a possibly self-reliant and independent life. The phenomenon of the educational concept of Róża Czacka – in addition to the affirmation of the personal dignity of her students – relies on respecting the value of truth and consistency together with imposing realistic requirements on people with visual disabilities. Her own blindness made her realise that this kind of disability is a severe limitation, but thanks to her personal belief in God she could find meaning in her life, which became service to the blind, especially children.
