Brazil in the "Eyes" of Blind

The second anniversary of our GSE trip is just passed.  In the busy city of Hong Kong, the team has not meet for a while.  However, a special and meaning occasion made us back to Brazil! 

Rotary Foundation Alumni Association (RFAA) has organized a service day at Morning Glory Hostel of The Hong Kong Society for the Blind on 2 June 2012.  Joe, as the Chairman of RFAA, and I joined a team of around 20 RFAA alumni and a group of Design School students to visit the blinds.  The theme of the service day is "Brazilian Charm".  

The service target of the Hostel is mainly visually impaired and mentally retarded clients.  They welcomed us by a group of talented visually impaired musician.  They sang songs and performed magic to us.  We shared some basic information of Brazil to them.  They were amazed when they knew that it took 25 hours to fly to Brazil.  The students has prepared some cards for them and we finished making the cards together.  Joe shared some coffee beans from Brazil with them.  They are excited to smell the scent of coffee bean and curious on the sound produced by the grinding of coffee bean.   We also served some crackers with honey from Brazil with them.  At the end of the day, we danced with the music from Brazil and the whole group were delighted to say a simple phrase "Ola, como voce" as a finale. 

With the smell, taste, music and dance, our service target know more about Brazil now.  This is a meaningful celebration of our anniversary. 

 Joe shared information about Brazil with the group.
 Crackers with Brazilian honey, yummy.
 Pauline, Annie (wife of Joe) and Joe prepared the honey crackers.

New Year Gathering 2012





We, four, have a mini-gathering at DG Cafe (!) at Heritage 1881 on 4 Jan. We shared our news and of course, never-outdated stories from our GSE experience. It is sad to know that GSE program by Rotary Foundation will soon be a legend.
