Project Detail
An increasing number of “hidden” visually impaired alumni are unemployed, withdrawn from society and idling away at home for years with symptoms of depression. The Project aims to reach out to these ‘hidden’ alumni through co-ordinated efforts involving other more active alumni, social services organisations and religious bodies and help create opportunities and channels to lead them back to a more balanced social life.
