Activities
For nearly four decades, the Home has been a benefactor to several blind and visually impaired persons. In a manner and warmth - just like home – we offer them all the basic amenities absolutely on no cost, and a lifestyle conducive to a healthy mind and life. Blind individuals above 55 years of age are admitted and are provided free boarding and lodging besides medical care, clothing, toiletries, footwear and recreational facilities. There is a qualified doctor attached to the clinic in the Home complex, to attended to the medical requirements of the aging residents.
Besides routine activities like prayer and exercises, the residents who are interested in and are in good health, are kept occupied through activities like weaving, knitting, making ornamental candles and incense sticks, caning chairs, embroidery, tailoring, etc. Pocket money as well as commission - on the various items made by them individually - is given to foster self-sufficiency.
Apart from these tangible benefits, NAB endeavors to build confidence and strengthen their spirit for life through various cultural and recreational programs. Visits to other institutions or places of spiritual interest are periodically arranged. The residents are encouraged to develop interest in leisure activities like music and an orchestra for music is operated by the residents.
Today, this homely institution continues to bring happiness and enables 85 blind persons – men and women - in the twilight years of their lives to live a life of dignity and independence. |
