Students participated in two programs organized by Crossroads Foundation: the Blind X-perience and AIDS X-perience. The programs aimed to deepen students' understanding of the challenges faced by individuals who are visually impaired and those affected by HIV/AIDS. Students were inspired to think about ways in which they could contribute to reducing inequality.

Following the simulation game, they took proactive steps to assist those in need. Through providing logistical support, sorting various donation materials, and helping with repair and maintenance work, students made a tangible difference in the lives of those living in vulnerable circumstances.
