As part of our broader commitment to inclusion, empathy, and empowerment, BN Welfare Foundation is deeply engaged in creating meaningful experiences for visually impaired children through our initiative titled Spreading Light, Beyond Sight. This program is a heartfelt attempt to ensure that children with visual impairments are not merely accommodated but are actively included, empowered, and celebrated for who they are.
Through this initiative, we organize a series of thoughtfully curated, sensory-rich and interactive activities that allow children to explore, express, and connect in ways that are intuitive to them. These activities include thumb painting, storytelling sessions, music therapy, and immersive experiences such as the “Dark Room,” where participants use their non-visual senses to navigate and engage with their surroundings. Each activity is crafted to awaken creativity, build self-confidence, and help children experience joy on their own terms.
The aim is not just to entertain but to empower—to equip these children with tools and opportunities that foster independence, curiosity, and emotional expression. Through consistent engagement, we strive to nurture an environment that supports self-discovery, communication, and social connection. Every child is encouraged to embrace their individuality, develop a sense of purpose, and feel a strong sense of belonging in the world around them.
Importantly, Spreading Light, Beyond Sight also challenges societal norms by breaking down barriers of perception and accessibility. It brings together caregivers,
volunteers, educators, and the wider community to better understand the capabilities and aspirations of visually impaired children. We believe that disability is not a limitation, but a different lens through which the world can be experienced— and appreciated.
This initiative is a step toward building a more compassionate and inclusive society where no child is made to feel invisible. At BNWF, we remain dedicated to creating safe, joyful, and enriching spaces where every child, regardless of ability, is valued, supported, and celebrated for the light they bring into the world.
