1. LOVE is BLIND

2. Angels
&
LITTLE DEVILS

3. CFBT, a home for the blind with multiple
disabilities, cares for 2,000 handicapped
students throughout Thailand.
These are stories of my gang at the
Bangkok school. These kids just make me
happy. Why only 5 out of so many? Well,
we kind of hit it off. There's no real
reason. Love is simply blind.

4. TipThis little angel is Tip. Blind and autistic,
she lives in her own world and spends most
of her day lying down. But, every so often,
she runs outside, turns her face up to the
sun and sparkles in the light. She turns in
slow circles, dancing to music only she can
hear.

5. GONGGong is partially sighted and totally smart.
He is big for a 5 year old and often says
surprising and intuitive things. He only
sees in light and shadows, so he has to
get up close to know who you are. He’s
gifted with computers, holding them
against his face and hacking life.

6. Pym
This is Pym. She is 3 or 4, autistic and
perfectly sighted. She is a lovable
little devil. She causes mayhem
without malice. She doesn’t think she
is being bad. It’s just that in her world,
toys should be thrown on the floor,
classes are meant to be disrupted,
and everything has to be eaten.

7. OMMeet Om. Maybe he got this
nickname because that’s the only
sound he makes. But he says it in
such a wide variety of ways, there
has to be a message there. He is 3
and autistic. He can see perfectly, is
a bundle of energy and is charmingly
naughty.

8. MutanoiLast, but not least, is Mutanoi. She is
coming up to 10 and is blind. She has been
slow to develop both physically and
mentally. She looks and acts about 6. That
said, she is very engaging and cute.
Listening to half-remembered, out of tune
songs really makes her day!

9. How to Help
CFBT helps visually impaired and special needs children become useful
members of society by giving them the life skills they require. The schools
will be extremely grateful for any assistance you can offer in any area.

10. Just turn up and
hug a kid. Many
students are both
blind and autistic,
and need physical
contact. Grab a toy
and act silly. You’ll
be a hero to the
children.
TIME

11. Clothes, toys, food, educational
materials, washing up liquid, diapers and
a million other things are needed every
day. Whatever your company makes or
sells will make a big difference. As
always, a full receipt will be issued.STUFF

12. You may have skills as an English teacher,
drama coach, musician, special needs
teacher, physical therapist, whatever. Just 1
hour of your time could change students’
lives for the better.
