Food: A Multi-Cultural Feast

When you see someone who is paralyzed, unable to hear or speak, or unable to see, how do you react? Pity? Discomfort? Your reactions influence your ability to communicate. • A person who is blind gives guidelines to help sighted people communicate better with others without sight.
