If all you see is the dog
then you are NOT seeing the whole picture
The Lady Kaye Centre in Beit Oved, near Rehovot, was opened in 2005 to serve the needs of the ever growing blind community in Israel.
Israel has over 27,000 registered blind people, although unofficial estimates place this figure much higher.
Of these, about 250 are guide dog assisted, but this number is growing steadily as the number of graduates from the Centre increases annually.
First-
For a blind person, "seeing" is believing in his guide dog. For the rest of us, seeing the Centre is believing what can be achieved with help from our wonderful friends.
If you would like further details, or would like to visit the Beit Oved campus, just a 20 minute drive south of Tel Aviv, contact us. We'd love to hear from you.
