At Last,
If you are lucky enough to do even some of the activities mentioned above, I am sure you would wish others to try it once as well. But what about the ones deprived from the very sense of sight, the ones whose life knows only one color, BLACK. Before I finally kick the bucket I wish to pledge my eyes so that at least two less-fortunate people will get to see the beautiful world that God has blessed us. What about you?
