Akhil Bhartiya Netrahin Sangh is one of the biggest schools for kids who are blind, or have some form of vision impairment. It provides free lodging, meals, education, and supplies to kids in need. Visiting the school has been one of the most humbling experiences for the Rice Kids team. As we saw these talented kids study, play, and take care of their daily chores without any support, it brought tears to our eyes. Not because we thought they had a disability, but for our impairments. In that moment, we felt pity for ourselves in how we deal with life’s challenges. If anything, these kids have special abilities, and the courage they exhibit cannot be described in words. The icing on the cake was their constant and infectious smile that they carried effortlessly throughout the day.
We also had a chance to meet with the staff, serve food, and deliver some gifts.
