As the crowds amassed creating the usual bedlam at the Huda Metro Station, the Esha Volunteers found a great opportunity amidst the apparent chaos..
The Blind Walk at the Huda Metro Station was nothing short of amazing & we were virtually spellbound at the impact we could create in a small span by sensitizing through experience the challenges that the blind come across in their daily lives.
The crowd was divided into pairs of two where one walked with their eyes shut while the other trotted alongside to ensure there are no accidents from the same.
"It was an amazing experience..
This is how we understand how it actually feels to not be able to see what lies ahead..
Yet, hats off to the courage & determination showed by those who lead their lives very normally despite the same"
- Aanchal Gupta (Participant)
Not only did it sensitize people about the discomfort faced by the Blind in their daily chores, but also inspired them to undertake their lives with greater rigor & gratitude.
"I'm amazed at how much the blind can inspire us in the infinite power of the human will & ability, & how less do we make out of the same, despite having all that we're blessed with.. " - Aryan Mehta (Participant)
The Esha Volunteers were able to inspire as also get heaps of inspiration from the experience!
"We are geared up & all set for Mission Sensitisation!"
- Shivangi Sharma (Volunteer, Esha)
The Esha Volunteers shared their individual experiences after the activity & the enthusiasm seemed to have totally caught a viral trend..
"I feel inspired & it's such an enriching experience"- Himanshi Motiani (Volunteer, Esha)
A lot of people we sensitized were coming from office, after having spent a long tiring day & yet were eager to take up the Blind Walk Experience!
"I feel that we need to sensitize more people as very less people think along these lines & you people at Esha are indeed doing a great job"
- Samridh Kapoor (Spectator)
The day ended on a positive note with a sense of satisfaction & good vibes !
