Blind Program
The Blind Program serves 72 children (22 girls and 50 boys as of February 2007). Children are trained in music, life skills, pre-Braille and Braille. Funds are always needed to support this program to help these children become productive members of the society. Many of these children are very musical. Particularly needed now are funds for the music program in order to restore the handbells for the handbell choir.
