On Wednesday 7 December, three members of the Nelson
Blind Foundation braved the very wet weather to come to St. Joseph's School
to share with the Vinnies their experience of being blind and to be presented
with the tactile book. Chrissy was able to share positive feedback in regard to
how well the previous tactile books that have been created by Vinnies groups
have been received by the community. Amanda brought her guide dog Clover along
to visit, Clover a well-behaved and very friendly dog captured all our hearts
with his placid nature. Both Kaye and Amanda were able to share with us as
to the useful way of handling both money and cards when out shopping. We learned
that the five on ATM machines always have a dot that can be felt which can help
navigate the key pad - something we'll have to check out for ourselves next time
we're out shopping.
