Seventh Visit
12/05/08, Monday
10.00am - 11.00am
-we cooperated with the other volunteers of the home
(they were middle aged "aunties" who usually come in alternate weeks)
-they played a game with us while the elderly watched and gave us support
-2 of us will play at one time
-both will be blind folded holding a "stick"(roll of newspapers) in one hand
-the objective of the game is to hit ur opponent with the stick while listening to the instructions of the person helping u, to tell u where to move or where to hit
-the game was very funny & made us and the elderly laugh
-we took some photos and videos of us playing the game
-haha, seems like we look rather stupid when playing the game
-but it was rather a nice game
*this game showed us how hard it was to control and move ourselves
in the world of the blind
*we understood better how some blind elderly have so much difficulty in
doing their normal daily tasks (1 of the elderly in the centre is almost
totally blind)
