As a person born with impaired eyesight, Cai Dongyue usually stays at home as he has to rely on the help of friends and family members to go outside.
Over the past year, the 76-year-old from Pudong district, Shanghai, has spent far more time outside thanks to a volunteer service launched by the Disabled Persons’ Federation in Pudong New Area in December 2017.
The service allows the blind and visually impaired to make a call with volunteers through an app called Pudong Sunshine World. Working like an online car-hailing app, the service enables users to order volunteer help through the app, reserving a time and location.
Yao Huiqian, deputy researcherat the new area federation, said the app is the only official online platform designed to meet the daily demands of people with sight drsabihty in Shanghai.
Over 200 people with visual disabilities have registered for the service, and the platform has received 950 orders since December 2017. The project was recognized as that voluntary project in Pudong New Area in 2018.
On the app, over 1, 000 volunteers, including university students and retirees, have registered to provide service in their spare time in Pudong New Area.
To guarantee users’ safety, volunteers go through a fairly strict screening process and get trained at schools for the blind before starting the work. The app also records the route of every order and users can comment on the service quality.
“We hope to extend the service to help all disabled people in Pudong New Area in the near future, and we may promote the idea to the whole city or the nation if everything works well,” Yao said.
Shen Liang, director of the Pudong Sunshine World service center, said the main challenge is to perfectly match the location and availability of volunteers with the requests of the disabled.
“We expect more people to join our team to care for the disabled,” he said.
