The International White Cane Safety Day 2020! (Awareness for visual impairments) by mcdokwe(m): 10:02pm On Oct 15, 2020
#THE INTERNATIONAL WHITE CANE SAFETY DAY 2020!!!
Coming from Chioma Precious' table AKA [The Golden Eyes] .

The 15th day of October 2020 is the 16th national and 56th international annual celebration of the white cane day. The use of white cane started in the early 1930s in the United States of America and became legally recognised on the 15th October 1964.
It was first nationally celebrated by the then President "Lyndon B. Johnson' .
The white cane is an aid to the blind or visually impaired persons to enable them navigate their way. The white cane is not magical in nature but it is the advanced form of the locally made guide stic which can either be in foldable or non foldable form.
It is meant to assist a blind or visually impaired feel obstacles,on his or her way and many more.
Today we celebrate achievements,equality and above all the independency of mobility from the colonialism of blindness.
From my heart of Hearts i beckon on everyone 2 always give a helping hand to blind or visually impaired person that you come accross on your way in other to make mobility easier.
To our government please consider our plight when constructing the roads. Please we are tired of falling into gutters. Build our roads.
To institutions,please remember we are part of your population.
To individuals, please do not neglect us when you see us at different bus stops trying to cross to the other side of the road.
Do not neglect us when you see us managing our ways out of the streets.
Do not neglect us when you see us trying to find our ways to our lecture rooms and offices.
At beholding you, the the white cane SMILES in anticipation for your patriotism.
Long live National Association of the Blind[NAB].
From The Golden Eyes that produces Golden SMILES.
