Last night we caught up with our friends Dave and Miriam who are also vacationing here in Maui. It was fun! Dave and Miriam had spent the day driving around the back roads of the island, off the beaten tourist track. As we chatted, Miriam mentioned that at one point, she and Dave had spotted a fellow walking on one of those roads and using his white cane.
I was curiously pleased when Miriam mentioned this to me. First I
was pleased that she noticed the man and his cane, and secondly, I was glad
that she thought to tell me. If there is one thing that I have hoped to
accomplish with the White Cane Connections it is to make everyone more aware of
the white cane and its significance. So too, for all of you white cane users
who are reading this blog, I hope that you know what a difference you are
making every time you step outside of your front door. By stepping out, you are
representing all of us and doing your part in raising awareness for people who
are either blind or partially sighted.
You are giving the message of the white cane alert!
