Coordinator Maria Oktay, completely blind herself, describes it as an escape from a sedentary life: “We don’t like sitting behind the geraniums. These walks allow us to get outside, meet people and enjoy nature.” Volunteer Jack Verbeek guides her over narrow paths. “It’s just fun, we chat along the way and I tell what we see, so that Maria has a nice day too,” he explains.
