Dear Friends,

Hello! Taiwan Foundation for the Blind is now 16 years old already! However, the memory of the ruggedness at the ever beginning is as vivid like it just happened yesterday.

During the past 16 years, because of your support, the Foundation has built up a specialized team for the blind people, and even further extends to all other blind service, including education, employment, information, leisure and many more various services.

In the field of employment, as seeing that most of blind friends, among few other choices, could only take massaging as their career, the Foundation has been aggressively exploiting other occupations which suit the blind people to perform. Assisting those people who become blind due to accidents can continue to carry out their original jobs, the Foundation provides the “occupation re-design” service. This service is to offer, with professional investigation and analysis, proper software and tools to assist the blind people to deal with their working environment. And so, the occupation categories for the blind people have been broadened and diversified. In our cases, there are blind people working as program designers, recorders, lecturers, tele-marketing specialists and even futures analysts. At the mean time, in leisure activities, the Foundation has been offering ceramic art, percussion music and blind baseball classes while children’s summer and winter camps are also held every year.

To the future, the Foundation still has to carry out and promote lots more blind service:
1. The Foundation is now a social welfare organization to execute diversified and omnidirectional goals and provide various blind services.
2. In order to carry out community service, set up Service Center in the south of Taiwan so that the blind people living in the south can also enjoy the same blind service and resources.
3. Continue with “White Canes’ Campaign” promotion to reach the goal that every blind person holds one cane on hand, as well as that the public know about white canes and able to provide assistance properly to the blind people timely.
4. Aiming to communicate with overseas blind service organizations to build up connections, exchange experience and work together.

Once again, to all my dear friends, I thank for your sincere support during the past 16 years! Only because of your generous contribution, the Foundation could grow up and be strong!

Wish you all the happiness, health and peace,
Ben Hsien
Chairman of Taiwan Foundation for the Blind
