For many years I have been aware and appreciate of the Villa Maria Society for the Blind and its dedications to the visually handicapped of all ages and creeds. Its works, from the counselling of mothers with blind babies to the care and attention of elderly frail blind, has won wide recognition and admiration. The Villa Maria Society is expanding rapidly, and in fact, blind children from all states and overseas are now attending the St. Paul's School for the Blind at Kew.
