"Rebuilding Independence: Camp Empowers Blinded Ukrainian Soldiers to Navigate Life Anew"

A rehabilitation camp in Ukraine is helping soldiers who lost their vision in combat to regain their independence. The camp, organized by the non-governmental organization Modern Sight, teaches blind veterans how to navigate the city, prepare meals, and use public transportation. The program aims to give them a chance to become self-reliant and independent. The demand for the camp is growing as the war in Ukraine continues, with more veterans seeking assistance. The camp provides canes, mobility training, and instruction on using sound-based programs for cellphones and computers. The participants and their families also receive support and training to integrate the veterans' impairments into their family life.
