Christmas party brings cheer to the blind

NEW JERSEY-New Jersey volunteers host a Christmas party for the blind.

The Tzu Chi New Jersey office has long been working hand-in-hand with the Foundation for the Blind. With Christmas approaching, volunteers were invited to a Christmas party both to enjoy a great time and to help out by ushering the friends at the foundation to their seats.

Although invited as guests, the volunteers also acted as hosts, helping with the seating, drinks, and lots more. An employee thanked the Tzu Chi volunteers for their help while a life-time volunteer at the Foundation commented on the joy of giving and how much the blind friends at the center love this type of activity.

The theme of the party was music. When familiar tunes were played, many people sang along. Throughout the party, many came to say thanks. As for the Tzu Chi volunteers, their thoughts coincided with that of the life-time volunteer.

Although the blind friends could not see their own reflection, volunteers saw smiles that came from the bottom of the heart.
