There are various forms of disability and one of it is physical disability - blindness. Together with Singapore Red Cross, we shared about disability and how it has impacted the lives of these individuals .

Our Kindergarten children had an opportunity to experience blindness through a simple activity.

They were blindfolded and tried to arrange the magnets in a line.

This activity taught the children to appreciate their sense of sight and how difficult it maybe for people who loss their sense of sight.
