  • Many beliefs but ONE human race! Attend an event or a service in-person or virtually with a community whose beliefs differ from your own. Share your experience with us! Did you find that they have any similarities to your own beliefs? What was the biggest difference? What surprised you the most? Alternatively, pick from the list of non-profits' websites and discover something about the organization. Share your initial impression and something significant you learned.
  • “See” your life differently…Try one of these blindfolded -- folding and putting away laundry, make your way to the kitchen to prepare something that does not require any cutting or use of appliances. Enjoy your meal blindfolded as well. Starting from the front door, put on your blindfold and navigate through your home to retrieve the following items: a band-aid, the tv remote, a spatula, and your favorite sweatshirt. Share what it was like for you and any realizations about the challenges the visually impaired face in their daily lives. If you wish, you can submit pics of your laundry piles, your meal, or the items you retrieved.
