This is a photograph of a group of blind children helping to make baskets in an outdoor courtyard. A small table holds baskets with tops and one girl uses her feet to weave a basket. "Children who had been abandoned when babies and brought up in the orphanages at Loting and Yeung Kong were usually a happy group. Many were blind, which was the reason why they had been abandoned. They were taught to weave baskets and make fishnets and thus prepared to make a living for themselves when grown up."
