Brailles on WheelsThis is 32nd car Rally for the visually challenged in Chennai by National Association for the Blind , O2 Health Studio and Madras Motor Sports Club hosts on Sunday, the 26th Feb 2023, from 09.00 am onwards starting from Savera Hotel, 146, Dr. Radhakrishnan Road, Chennai 600004
This is a unique car rally in that it brings together the visually impaired and the sighted and is truly one of the most inclusive sporting events for the differently-abled in the city. The rally is not merely a fun event; there is an objective to it.
The navigator and the driver are mutually dependent thus creating a beautiful synthesis of two minds. The navigator has to read out the instructions which are in Braille for the driver to follow the rally route. Each team member contributes according to his or her abilities. With the navigator and the driver having a common goal, their interaction for over two days during the dummy rally and the actual event gives rise to a camaraderie which often develops into a strong friendship. The rally helps the persons with visual impairment to build contacts and foster bonds. It also gives an opportunity for the sighted person to get to know a person with visual impairment. The Annual Car Rally for the Blind seeks to make the visually impaired feel needed, not merely people with needs.
Ms. Nina Reddy – the president of the National Association for the Blind, Tamil Nadu State Branch , looks forward to greater support and encouragement to build upon our activities by getting more volunteers as well as increased participation of the beneficiaries and community in general. in our programs and activities,
