World Sight Day

Students @IBSB Celebrate World Sight Day

On Thursday, October 15th, IBSB once again celebrated World Sight Day. The students arrived in school wearing sunglasses of various shapes and colours to mark this important day.

Throughout the day, each class learned about the fantastic work that Light Into Europe do on a daily basis, such as assisting people who suffer from severe visual impairment to gain mobility, freedom, and independence. We had fun in class playing sensory games and learning all about the braille alphabet. Each child also made a voluntary 10 lei donation for Light into Europe, which will be used to train guide dogs and provide canes. The message each child received is that a visually impaired person has the right to go anywhere with a guide dog and that sensory impairment must not lead to exclusion.
