After the walking tour we went back to the assembly hall. We wait for
a moment then have an orientation about what we are about to experience
that night.
Our eyes were blindfolded and the organizer help us fall inline. Upon
entering the dinner hall, we were guided by Kuya Froilan, one of the
visually impaired who help the guest to their sit.

A
soft christian song is playing in the background. We waited for the
other guest to settle. I don't have any idea who's seating aside me but
I felt that I was on the last seat because of the wall and I can peek
through the blindfold that there was a dim glimpse of light beside me.

We
were briefed on where our food and utensils are located, we use clock
reference system. Then told us to remove our blindfold and
start eating. I tried to locate it with my finger tips and start digging
it. We ate paella, hardinera, onion crusted bacon and silvanas for dessert. Our drink is in bottle so it's safe from spilling.
According
to our host we have been eating for about 45 mins and it feels like I
was just starting because I can feel that my plate is still full of
foods.After the dinner guest those who guess the food right and the
cleanest plate will take home a special prize.
Honestly,
I'm just looking forward in an exciting experience. I never thought
that this event will somehow change my perspective in life.I never
imagine that it would be that hard because I'm used to eat with low
light when we don't have electricity but it was different this time
around knowing what is the purpose of the experience.
Lucky for us, we still have the ability to see even if it's just a silhouette, I can't imagine how hard it is for them knowing that they can't see anything. After some reflection, we were introduced to those people who assisted us all throughout the experience. This person, fight with determination and faith in God all throughout their life journey and they made us realize that we should take care of what we have and share the blessings to those who are in need.
All
the proceeds of this event will go to the Eye Bank Foundation of the
Philippines. Donations made that night will help the foundation that
Kuya Froilan is a member of.
