The
Social Work Department continues to work towards the improvement of the
quality of life of our visually handicapped clients through
specialized
self-help services that help them to raise self-esteem and to gain
self-reliance to cope with integration into mainstream society. This is
done by helping them to develop their support system, foster links with
the community, learn new skills and more importantly adopt positive
attitudes towards whatever situation they find themselves in.
