The annual WHITE CANE DAY & INTERNATIONAL FOOD FAIR organised by NIGERWIVES NIGERIA (NW) Abuja Branch,was held on the 15th of October 2011 from 10am to 4pm at the FCT School for the Blind, No. 15 Audu Ogbeh Street, Jabi, Abuja.
Nigerwives Nigeria is a registered association of foreign women married to Nigerian citizens, and it has branches in many parts of the country.
Nigerwives Nigeria Abuja Branch has been involved in various charity activities, adopting the FCT School for the Blind as its pet project when the school was still located at the College of Education in Zuba. Nigerwives organize reading sessions and math lessons, and generally look after the welfare of the children. A milestone in this collaboration was the formal opening of a computer center at the School for the Blind on July 15, 2011. The children can henceforth learn how to use the computer, thanks to a special 'talking' software.
Most of the proceeds from the WHITE CANE DAY BAZAAR & INTERNATIONAL FOOD FAIR will go a long way in satisfying some of the needs of the students at the School for the Blind in terms of Braille books, basic medical care, basic equipment,
