Walk for the Blind is an event organized by the Lions Club and Leos Club along with St. Nicholas Institute to allow normal humans experience the feeling of being blind.
Being as active n curious in such petty things,my family and I joined the event as to show support to one of the organizers which is a friend of ours.
Well today started off as a nice sunny day, so we went and gathered at Padang Polo while waiting for the event to be flagged off. Before it started, they showed a lil example of how to handle a blind person n leading him/her. You have to let him/her hold onto your arm and walk side by side while giving warnings to changes in his/her surrounding. Though it sounds easy, when we actually started, I was partnering my sister. And knowing her myself, she's quite pushy, she kept on asking me to move faster and faster but i dunno how to act coz i dun have my sense of sight. And then i realized how important human sight is to us. After walking around for a while, i finally managed to adapt myself to such changes and managed to utilize my other senses to help me besides my sister guiding me.
Well after walking for a distance, we switched our roles, she became the blind and i'm her guide. This time, she was scared, (and as if she din noe i was scared when she asked me to move faster). But at least she understands the importance of our eyes, and she enjoyed this pleasant experience.
This is juz an honest opinion. Everyone has time to go shopping or hanging out with friends, but they dun have time to do some charity work. But when anything happens to you, there will always be someone who is willing to help. But Y do u have to wait until something happened to you? Do some charity work now. A little kindness gives others hope. A little joy goes a long way to achieve happiness . So do your part in charity work now. And for now, i will return to my busy schedule in school , so wish me luck ^^
