The “VI Career Advocates” programme aims to create job opportunities for visually impaired (VI) freelancers by engaging them to plan and host online promotions, educational talks and experiential workshops conducted by massage therapists, musicians, piano tuners, baristas, Rubik’s cubes instructors, etc. It is believed that the public will enjoy the quality services offered by persons with visual impairment and be inspired by their resilience.
