Guide dogs
Guide dogs! After stroking one of them closeup I wanted to hear more about them. And we got what we wanted. Two Guide dog representatives, paddy and executive, and Denise a Guide dog trainer came to talk about the insides f the the guide dog for the blind association. Up to this moment, I (and probably the rest of the lass) were unawrae pf the cost levels in the guide dog market, ranging from 15,000 euro to 50, 000 neuro! I/We was/were aslo astonished by the fat that most of the funds were not from the goverment but rather from public donations. ‘Founded in 1976, we are a unique organization dedicated to providing services which bring mobility and independence to blind and visually impaired people as well as people with other disabilities. Our services include guide dog training, long cane training, courses in independent living skills and child mobility program. We also provide Assistance Dogs to families of children with autism – a first for Europe.
All our services are provided free of charge. We rely heavily on volunteers to support us through fundraising, the raising of our dogs and in many other ways.’
I really enjoyed listening to those two and was eager to beginn with the preperations for the Creative Digital Media/ Guide Dog cooperation project. Lzm
