A blind man walks at Unión Nacional de Ciegos del Perú, a social club for the visually impaired in Lima, Peru, 3 April 2013. Unión Nacional de Ciegos del Perú, one of the first societies for disabled in Latin America, was established in 1931 to provide a daily service for blind and partially sighted people from the capital city. The range of activities includes reading books in a large Braille library, playing chess or using a computer adapted for visually impaired individuals.
