There comes a point in life when we realize that, we need to
appreciate the life we have and the privileges that we are exposed to. There
are so many children who are deprived of basic needs. This was one such
instance to the entire team of Enlightening Lives, who made a visit to Louis
Braille Educational Society for the Blind on 16th February 2020.
This blind school is located in Narsapur, Medak district and
is run by Mr.Prabhakar. Mr. Prabhakar takes care of the 21 blind students in
his school and is himself blind. These children's everyday life is an enormous
challenge. Living through each day and fighting through it empowers them to
achieve greater things. We must appreciate their will power to go through their
struggles.
Nine girls and six boys from BVRITN have visited the school.
So, to be of some help and support to them, we gathered things that could be
put to some help for them. We had donated them a few basic necessities such as
rice bags, clothes, accessories, stationery, and other food items. Apart from
these, we had also contributed a few braille slates, stylus and papers as well.
To keep them entertained Chess Boards, Snakes and Ladders and Ludo also were
given.
For the volunteers of Enlightening Lives, it was truly an
eye-opening experience to spend quality time with these kids. Irrespective of what
they go through in their daily life, the innocent smiles fail to leave their
faces. The time spent playing and bonding with them made us realize that no
matter what may come in our ways, being happy is important. Visiting Louis
Braille Educational Society for the Blind made us realize the value of life and
helped us connect with people. Let's be thankful for the days we have and the
opportunity to live life to the fullest.
