Apart from being a symbol of blindness, the white cane is also an essential tool that gives blind people the ability to move freely and safely from place to place. 

The purpose of this day is to raise awareness on the importance of the use of the white cane, but also on the struggle that blind people face in their daily commute.

According to the World Health Organization, roughly 300 millions of people around the world are either blind or experiencing some sort of visual impairment.  

Let us all move from words to actions and stand by our fellow citizens!

Because blindness concerns all of us!
