How can you be gracious around blind people? Please, be careful with the questions you ask. There are some persons who are more than happy to answer questions to help others understand visual impairment or disabilities, but there are certain topics that are just too personal.
Our volunteers play an essential part in our initiatives, offering much-needed assistance, support, and special attention to visually impaired people. Join our team and help us create something amazing this summer!
