On 28 October, 35 visually impaired PUC students, accompanied by 11 volunteers, were flown from Mysuru to Bangalore.

The trip, and past ones like it, are a unique way that Satish P has devised to achieve his larger goal.

When he moved to Bengaluru, he found that there were few scribes - those who help the visually impaired to write examinations. So, he started ‘Sweetness for Blindness’.

Satish visited blind schools in Karnataka, offering to take children on trips to places like movies, temples and waterfalls.

He then sought volunteers who would help the children on the trips. The response was excellent.

As Satish hoped, the volunteers developed close bonds with the child assigned to them and got involved with many aspects of their lives.

Today, he has over 2,000 volunteers on his group — many of whom are also scribes.
