"The greatest tragedy in life is people who have sight, but no vision."
---Helen Keller
H'ello.
We're creating a playground for the visually impaired children. We believe that every kid has a chance to have fun. Fun at a playground. To play and feel normal. Even if their world is perpetually in darkness. We're gonna give them that.Visually Impaired/Blind -
Visual Impairments can mean a number of things. If you are visually impaired it doesn't necessarily mean you are blind, it could mean you are blind or have impaired vision. A person who is totally blind cannot see light or anything else.
There are no ways to cure blindness, but we can at least help them to adapt and feel like normal people and not like special needs, through having fun. Having fun, in a playground.
Visually impaired and blind people have devised a number of techniques that allow them to complete daily activities using their remaining senses. Tools such as the white cane with a red tip - the international symbol of blindness - can be used to improve mobility. They can read using Braille, which is a system of raised dots that a blind person can read with their fingertips.
Not everyone is Dare Devil, with superhuman senses and all. And maybe all the blind want to be, is just to play and have fun.
So take one word you said.
You put it in your bed, you rest your tiny head on your pillow.
You wonder where you're going next, you got your head pushed to my chest.
And now you're hoping, that someone lets you in.
Well I'll sure let you in, you know I'll let you in.
Oh Kelsey, you.
I nearly forgot. Janice, Denise, Jia Hui, Sofyan and Isaac are our names, and Literature is our game. You're here now, do stay and look around. I've made my speech so now I'll shut up.
