Coming up - Dining in the Dark @ SAVH
>> Friday, October 23, 2009
Hi fellow Rotaractors
There will be an upcoming fellowship event in November 2009!!!
We will be having a "Dining In The Dark" Programme where you will get to experience eating in total darkness without the use of blindfolds !
Ever wonder how the visually handicapped people carries on with their daily life? How are they able to eat or even move in the dark?

Server Ng Swee Kuen prepares the dining room. She uses her sense of touch to tell the cutlery apart because she has been totally blind for the past 16 years.
Server Soh Sang Hee prepares soup
