So this past week, we had our first CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) activity at work - going to visit the Sree Rakum School for the Blind. The Sree Rakum School takes in children aged 2-5 who are either blind or whose parents are blind and can't care for them. We collected food, toys, and toiletries, and sent a group of employees over for a visit. I sadly was swamped with work that day and couldn't join, but thought you might enjoy the pictures as much as I did. I am pushing for a trip to the school for the "deaf and dumb" (yes, they still call it that), or one of the schools for the mentally retarded. And I better get to go next time. (Sidenote: I don't know if I ever mentioned the session I sat through about eyeball donation, but blindness is a pretty big deal here, apparently. They won't take my eyeballs because your father has to give permission for the doctor to pop 'em out of your face, and my dad isn't here to do that if they suddenly became available....)
