Dear Members, *Can accessible journeys become a pathway to confidence, independence, and global citizenship?*
At *Rising Star Khilte Chehre (RSKC)*, we have spent the last *eight years* proving that it can. Through *23 community-led learning initiatives*, more than *20**00+ visually impaired participants* have travelled together, challenged stereotypes, built confidence, strengthened independence, and discovered that the world is far more accessible than they had imagined. For many, these journeys marked their first experience beyond their hometown, their first train journey, or their first opportunity to travel independently within a supportive community. Today, that journey crosses borders. We are delighted to announce the *RSKC Global Learning Journey – Singapore | India Vision Bridge*, our *first international Global Learning Journey*. *(Dates : 26-30 Sep, 2026; Departure Date: 25 Sep )**Register your interest: *https://forms.gle/F5h9pnKffV3iAzYN9 This initiative is built on a simple belief: T*ravel is one of the most powerful classrooms for learning.* Rather than focusing only on destinations, the Global Learning Journey is designed around exposure, confidence-building, cultural exchange, and real-world learning. Participants will experience how an internationally recognised accessible city functions, explore inclusive public spaces and transport systems, engage with a new culture, and build friendships that extend beyond geographical boundaries. Singapore is thoughtfully chosen as the next destination because of its global reputation for accessible infrastructure, inclusive urban planning, efficient public transport, innovation, and multicultural society. It offers an ideal environment for visually impaired travellers to experience what an inclusive city can look and feel like while inspiring new possibilities for accessibility and independent living back home. Participants may travel independently or with a parent, spouse, sibling, friend, or companion. To make the journey more accessible, RSKC has arranged *premium accommodation, all 3 meals / day (not just breakfast), local transportation, and comprehensive accessibility support* throughout the programme. For RSKC, Singapore is not the destination. It is the part of a larger vision—to build bridges between visually impaired communities across countries, encourage global exchange, and create opportunities where travel becomes a catalyst for leadership, confidence, learning, and inclusion. We warmly invite visually impaired individuals to express their interest and welcome organisations, accessibility professionals, institutions, and global partners who believe that mobility and inclusion must go hand in hand. *Register your interest:* 🔗 https://forms.gle/F5h9pnKffV3iAzYN9 We look forward to welcoming the first international cohort of the RSKC Global Learning Journey and continuing to demonstrate that when barriers are thoughtfully removed, the world becomes a place to explore—not just imagine. *Contact : 8527044355, 8527011066, 9811141952Office Landline: 011 47011111* Warm regards, *Lovely Sarkar Soti* Mission Head (India & Global) *Rising Star Khilte Chehre (RSKC)* *Building a global community where visually impaired individuals travel with confidence, dignity, and independence.* -- Disclaimer: 1.
