International White Cane Day

15th October marks the International White Cane Day. It was established to commemorate the invention of white cane used by visually impaired persons (VIPs).

A white cane enables VIPs to explore the road ahead and symbolizes their positive and independent living.

 

Introduction to the“Cane-A-Thon”

Through the celebration of the International White Cane Day, Hong Kong Blind Union aims to raise public awareness of visual impairment and co-create an equal participation independent environment in our community.

We believe that the visually impaired can contribute themselves in our society. They are capable of serving and realising their dreams.
