Good Morning to one and all!
Greetings from the National Federation of the Blind, Maharashtra (NFBM)!
Have you been apprehensive about hopping onto the Mumbai Metro or
going through metro stations all by yourself?
Well, here is your chance to overcome all those fears!
On the occasion of White Cane Day, 2014:
we, at NFBM in co-ordination with Reliance Mumbai MetroPvt. Ltd. invite you to:
Educate and acquaint yourself with the newly launched Metro Rail
Service in Mumbai
Familiarize yourself with the tactile markings on railway platforms
Get acquainted with security checks at various stations and the layout
of the Metro Train
Learn How to navigate Escalators, and Elevators while escorting the blind.
Date: Saturday, October 18th, 2014
Time: 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Route: Ghatkopar to Versova Station
Objectives of co-hosting the workshop include:
To familiarize attendees with special needs with the basic terminology
used during Metro travel.
To guide and educate people with special needs to follow tiled and
dotted texture on platform floorings.
*To convey the message that the blind traveler is after all in control
even when the guide investigates or governs.
So, block your dates and give us a call...
Also, wouldn't this be an excellent opportunity for Mumbaiites to
guide visually challenged citizens thus enabling them to sharpen their
four senses other than sight?
Please note that number of people needs to be kept restricted to 50 so
register yourself and your escort only if you intend to be educated in
navigating through the Metro Service.
Hurry! register now to avoid disheartening!
Send in your names along with the escort's name and contact number via
whatsapp or sms to Prakash on 9820681032 /7303448295
Preference will be given to those with escorts.
Enjoy Metro Travel once familiar with ease in accessibility!
Warmly,
The Secretary,
National Federation of the Blind, Maharashtra.
