Massage classes are offered to the visually impaired

A program to develop massage training centers for the visually-impaired opened in Hanoi last week with support from the Asia Medical Massage Instructors Network and Nippon Foundation.
During a week-long session, dozens of handicapped individuals learned Anma massage technology from Japanese experts.

Chairman of the Vietnam Blind Association, Dao Soat, said his organization considers massage to be a great occupation to help the blind improve their living standards.

Thousands of visually impaired people already make their living as masseurs in Vietnam.
