KARACHI: Eminent Social worker and Chhipa Welfare Association (CWA) founder and chairman Ramzan Chhipa has said that those who have lost their eyesight due to any ailment or were born blind were not necessarily deprived of intuition but those that lack such intuition were the real blind.
The people having eyes but lack alleviating grievances of the less privileged and deprived people and also ignore measures for their assistance and rehabilitation are the real deprived.
He stated this while talking to “The Organisation for the Welfare of Special Persons” life president K. M. Jamaluddin (Blind) at his office on Sunday.
According to a statement issued on Monday, he also met with other special people especially the blind and enquired about their problems and assured them of due resolution of their problems.
He said that there were a large number of blind people in the country but this segment of the society never took to the streets or went door to door for charity while they preferred to earn their bread and butter through hard working.
However, many of them were not physically strong or sick enough to carry out laborious work for their bread and butter. This situation has caused their family and them to starve of hunger.
“Henceforth, citizens and philanthropists should come forward to help these people so that they could play their role for the country and live their lives in a respected manner, he urged.”
He said that Chhipa's campaign “Keep the Stove burning” was part of the same struggle, which strives for the assistance of deserving families with necessary ration and essentials of life on monthly basis.
He once again appealed to the people that they should liberally donate for the cause of humanity and should help “Chhipa” with their donations.
Later on, he donated “white sticks and necessary ration” to the blind.
