Beeping eggs help blind and visually impaired kids experience Easter hunt in Miami

South Florida Police Benevolent Association contributes to Miami Lighthouse for the Blind and Visually Impaired event

Miami Lighthouse Academy holds beeping Easter egg hunt

The main instruction for a group of children during a special egg hunt on Thursday in the West Brickell neighborhood was to follow the sounds.

Easter’s vibrant colors couldn’t offer clues to the Miami Lighthouse for the Blind and Visually Impaired‘s academy‘s students, aged one through 4.

Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office deputies with the bomb squad installed beeping devices in as many colorful Easter eggs as they could.

Virginia Jacko, who has served as the president and chief executive officer of the nonprofit for decades, said the children were “tickled.”

David Greenwell, the executive vice president of the South Florida Police Benevolent Association, said it’s one of his biggest highlights of the year.

“I just wish people would close their eyes for maybe 30 minutes today and see what their life is like every day,” Greenwell said. “So when they find the eggs, out of listening and finding, they are so happy.”
