Sharjah celebrates White Cane Day
The Early Intervention Center of Sharjah City for Humanitarian Services organized an event on the occasion of World White Cane Day at the American University of Sharjah. The purpose was to raise awareness among students and educational staff about visual disability issues and the importance of the white cane in supporting the independence and safe mobility of the visually impaired. The event featured six interactive stations providing hands-on experiences to enhance understanding of the challenges faced by people with visual impairments. It also promoted the use of assistive technologies such as the "Be My Eyes" app, which connects users with sighted volunteers to assist them remotely. This helps foster independence for visually impaired individuals and deepens community awareness about the importance of proper interaction and encouraging positive engagement with them.
