Helping the blind and visually impaired
This issue covers a spectrum of personal experience, needs, support and care for the blind and visually impaired. It will surely encourage those who have the privilege of sight (and those who do not), to realise the huge potential that exists in each boy, girl, man and woman, who is blind or visually impaired – to enjoy and be blessed with a real sense of worth, respect and fulfilment in every aspect of life.
