Zoobic Safari “Dinner in the Dark”

DINNER IN THE DARK. Hoodwinked, Olongapo Mayor Rolen C. Paulino (left) waits to be led into the totally dark dining room at Zoobic Safari, simulating the feeling only blind people experience. Mayor Paulino was at the special dinner event called the Black Safari, a “Dinner in the Dark” where guests are treated to a unique experience of dining in total darkness with blind persons serving them. Zoomanity Group, one of the leading companies in the park industry, holds “Dinner in the Dark” for the benefit of the Eye Bank Foundation of the Philippines and Olongapo-based Niños Pag-Asa, which houses blind people. The exceptional event aims to create awareness on what it is like to lose the sense of sight and appreciate it even more. SubicBayNews photo by Vic V. Vizcocho, Jr.
