Our E-books and Activities
Cultural Awareness
Ash is the principal of a School for the Visually Impaired. As she is also visually impaired, she has a guide dog, Pax, to help her out. Today Ash and Pax went to the guide dog training school to meet Pax’s trainer, Charlie, and his sister Molly. Let’s read about two experiences they faced while on the way to the training school.
The story aims to raise children’s awareness of the different types of service dogs and their training, as well as educating them on the “Dos and Don’ts” (e.g. Do enquire, Don’t disturb, Don’t pat) when interacting with a guide dog.

Martin and Laura were amazed at a little girl’s stunning performance. They fell in love with Cantonese opera.
