Trees

Heritage Council of the Blind and why we chose the tree as our logo.

 

The mission and purpose of our Heritage Council is to provide an anchoring foundation of knowledge and values through the personal experiences and cultural teachings of previous generations. These strong, stabilizing, roots feed the multicolored leaves of today’s generations through a supportive and information-rich highway of dynamic techniques mixed with celebrated traditions.


Heritage is about progression and growth, connecting and flourishing, and we strive to develop a community of individuals fully able to reach the heights of their potential and activate their power, sharing and continuing the cycle from roots to leaves. If you know someone visually impaired, we are looking to serve them. Please call 314-873-9022.
