Beyond the Sight

Differently abled people are the people who need more love and care in this society. As most of them are cornered or being addressed by their disability these people do not like to come forward and show their talents. It is a great misfortune prevailing in this society. We, UoM Leos, thought of adding color to their darkened lives by letting them showcase their hidden talents.

Have you ever seen a blind person sewing clothes? Or even have you ever imagined a blind person with a needle in her hand? If I was asked this question a few weeks ago, the answer would be a big no. But I witnessed it by myself on 28th March. I saw how talented those individuals were and how beautiful their products were.

UoM Leos gathered those talented individuals on the rooftop of Sentra Court of University of Moratuwa and made some space for them to sell their products while showcasing their talents at the same time. This event happened from 9.00 a.m onwards. They had a variety of products from mats to handbags. The prices were really reasonable. Most of the university staff and university students joined this moment to buy beautifully hand-stitched products for affordable prices. These people got a unique chance to showcase their products as well.
