Yeaaaaaah!!!!!!! We have finished the project work that we’ve been taken up for four weeks.Our group has changed the first idea, the pet therapy, in order to choose another target group: blind children 0- 18 years. The research of the material was not very easy because there aren’t specific laws for this target. In fact you must extract the information from laws for people with special needs. Knowing only few things about this target, I personally decided to send a dozen of emails to the main Union of Italian Blindness. And with pride I can say that in one week all associations answered me, providing me more or less, all materials. One association asked me to send one copy of my project to publish on a specific journal of blind people when we finish the labor . Wooooooooow!!!!
The second phase was very heavy, because it consisted in putting all together the information we found. Then to compare and analyze all these data for each country. We always had the obsession of staying into the 10 pages. But fortunately I found a funny and nice group. I felt comfortable with three simple worker and fantastic people from the beginning. The funny thing was that we “lost” time only for eating and for discussions about the defects in our countries, sometimes smiling for some aspects and sadding for others.
Returning to the project, I can say that, when we started to know more of this target group, we began to see and meet lots of blind people with dogs or sticks, in the bus, metro and in the streets of Copenhagen.
It’ s true: when you think and know more about something it’s easier to identify and meet all these people.
