Celeste Chávez: Today I came to invite you not to look at us with pity, but to be amazed at how talented we are. We, blind people, are capable of standing up for ourselves, if you let us fly and don’t overprotect us. I am happy to see with the eyes of the soul, and my best friend is the cane.

Johanna Aranda- Mayor of Ibagué: You teach us the value of life and greatness.

Brenda Ramírez: We are at the Escuela Normal Superior of Ibagué celebrating the International White Cane Day. The white cane is the tool used by visually impaired, low-vision, or totally blind people.

Johanna Aranda -Mayor of Ibagué: You find paths where others see obstacles. You are the purest reflection of resilience. Thank you for teaching us that true light is in the heart. A big round of applause for your work, your effort, and your commitment.
