A professional organization with the purpose of
serving society---
A group of blind persons got together in 1954 and decided to
start a Recreation Club for the Blind. This small club is now a large
multi- faceted Agency providing a wide gamut of services- from
prevention, to education, to counseling, to rehabilitation and
employment, to multiple disability and advocacy. Today the BPA is one of
the largest organizations in
Asia.
THE BPA’S NAME IS A
MISNOMER.
It does not work only for the blind, as has been mentioned
earlier.
On the contrary!! It works and provides services to all
category of disabled persons- but it began for the blind and the name
became too well-known to be changed !!
