We just came back from a one week stay in Milan, as guests of the "Istituto dei Ciechi", a resource centre for the blind of the area.

The group in front of the school for the blind in Milan, with the Italian and European flag
For the twenty of us – 8 Israeli and 8 Palestinians blind and partially sighted children and the 4 accompanying adults – it was a unique experience. The group in the gymnasium
Starting to prepare the dough for the pizza It was a very intensive week, in which through thrilling activities and experiences we learned how to live together and communicate in a very natural way.
We experienced together a variety of activities, far from our families and from our familiar daily routine. We visited the "Castello Sforzesco" The group in front of the Castello Sforzesco

in which we could touch the exhibits and learn a lot. We were the hosts of and Italian school in which blind children are integrated, and we exchanged information about our daily life. In an Italian secondary school class
The activities at the Institute were mainly writing in English – nobody's mother tongue - about our visit, for our web site, thanks to the assistive technology in the computer lab and preparing together pizza and other delicious things and eating them together.
One of the most touching moments was when each of the children gave and received a gift, brought from home, from his friend from the other group.
