SeeSaw Club

  The arts and crafts volunteer on November 17th for our seesaw club was an opportunity for all of us to come together with visually impaired individuals.  That day, we created a strap and worry dolls using flat knot technique. I was pleased to guide the person next to me to spread her passion for arts and crafts. It was a precious and rewarding experience for me because I felt a strong connection between us and became one big group who had the same pursuit despite our differences. After that day, I learned that being visually impaired is not a barrier to anything if there is genuine efforts and passion.

  On November 17th, the Seesaw Club had the chance to work with visually impaired individuals on a hands-on crafting activity. We started with learning to tie basic flat knots, a key skill for making worry dolls and phone bracelets. The worry dolls were especially meaningful—they're meant to "listen" to your worries, offering comfort and a sense of relief. Learning and teaching the knots required a focus on touch and patience as it was a particularly difficult task. However, it was incredible to see how quickly everyone picked up the techniques and made their works.  By the end, the joy in the room was evident. This experience reminded our club members of the power of connection and how small crafts can rather carry big meaning.
