We stuck cotton flowers under the handrails and on the backs of the chairs in front. It was a little surprise for the visually impaired students at the end of the event—a small gift full of meaning.

Flowers symbolize hope and beauty. We wanted to inspire them to keep blooming, stay optimistic, and never lose hope, no matter what. 

We couldn't wait to see their smiles! Hoping that these small gifts would make them feel encouraged, inspired, and ready to keep blooming brightly.

We tried to prepare everything for the program as thoughtfully and carefully as possible! 

From packing the gift boxes with sponge cakes, soft drinks, and snacks for the kids to take home, to setting up drinks on the seat handrails and handing out popcorn as they arrived.

I also helped out behind the scenes—bringing supplies, cleaning up, and taking out the trash —to make sure everything ran smoothly.

Every little detail mattered because we wanted the kids to feel special and cared for! 

I had a chance to learn their language—their special way of reading and writing!

At first, we used what I called "a nail and a board" to press dots onto a thick piece of paper. We had to write from the back of the paper, starting from the right, so that when they read it, it would appear the correct way from left to right.

Back then, I didn’t even know what it was called! Later, I found out that it's actually called Braille, and the tools are a slate and stylus.

During the program, I was given a small task: plotting a word using a marker and punching it out with the nail, and even trying to read a random word! It was way harder than I thought—finding each letter, writing, and reading were all super challenging.

I was amazed by how strong and determined the students are to learn this beautiful "language" without giving up.

The line I was assigned was "Cùng nhau rạng rỡ" — meaning "together we shine" ✨ — to encourage them to keep pushing through every hardship.
