However, when we place ourselves in the shoes of people who have not been equally blessed, we start valuing them. A session of Deafness and Blindness was conducted by Sense International India for the students of Class 9. In this session the students were briefed about the different types of visual impairments. A blind fold activity was held to demonstrate the difficulties faced by deaf or blind people to sensitize the students towards those who are less fortunate. Students were also taught preliminary Sign Language to communicate. The session ended with an activity to test the knowledge acquired.
