The 7th Annual Blind Leading The Blind Charity Walk

It is on again. A walk for community member to experience the blindness and feel so helpless under such circumstances. The Blind Leading the Blind Charity Walk will allow people to donate while making a casual walk partnering with a blind folded people. MBPJ, as a pioneer in championing the creating of Barrier Free City of Petaling Jaya is honour to be partner with the Lions Club of Petaling Jaya in organising this event for the past 7 years. It is an event to raise public awareness on challenges facing by the people with disability. Many of us sympathise with our friends with disabilities and want to provide assistance, but withdraw the intention for fearing to do it wrongly. Hence, forums to raise awareness and capacity building is essential so that the society of all for one and one for all is achievable. By participating in the walk, the participants will be learning how to help the people with visual impaired. For example, how to lead and provide instruction to the people with visual impaired during a walk. If not properly done, it is not uncommon for the people with visual impaired to knock on the lamp post.

Money collected from the charity walk will be channelled to charitable organisations such as the Tun Hussein Onn Eye Hospital for sight rectification projects, especially for the needy.

So, why don't join the walk on 19th April 2009 at Dewan Sivik MBPJ, Petaling Jaya? Enhancing your good conscience while helping others.
