Visualizing Vision 一視同行
A team of Connect ACE (Ambassador for Community Engagement) 2017/18 cooperated with "The Hong Kong Society for the Blind Family Resource Centre for the Visually Impaired" to organize this service project which aimed to facilitate social integration and help Visually Impaired People (VIP) develop their interest and a sense of accomplishment. HKUST Volunteers accompanied the VIPs during outdoor visits and interactive workshops, and assisted them to complete various tasks.

Perhaps all of us have underestimated the ability of the visually-impaired. They can do a lot more than what we assumed! Although they are living in a world of darkness / blurriness, the difficulties they faced do not deter them from exploring the unknowns. They are also willing to learn and try out things that they are not familiar with. Their spirits impressed me a lot in this service.

雖然之前也曾經參加過不同的義工活動，但今次才是我第一次接觸視障人士。活動開始前，我感覺有些擔心，不知道該如何與視障朋友相處。幸好，透過參加者的主動和投入，我們渡過了一個很愉快的下午！
