"One of the events to mark the 80^th anniversary of The League of Friends of the Blind was Blind Buddy Day on Friday 31^st May 2013.  Thousands of South Africans showed their support by donning a pair of sassy shades and a blind buddy sticker.  Throughout the country staff at various companies donned their dark glasses and did an activity under blind fold.   Pictures on this event can be found on the Blindman lofob facebook page and the LOFOB website www.lofob.org.za .   Around the family dinner table people shared in the show of solidarity of blind people and experiencing what it is to be without sight as they shared a meal under blind fold.   Blind Buddy Day is held annually on the last Friday of May and has been running for three years.  This year the week of awareness was started with a church service under blind fold at the Baptist Church in Grassy  Park. "
