[Blind-international-students] [Blind-international-students introduction

Mon Aug 2 20:18:29 UTC 2010

hi jan,
 yes that is why i started this list and had philip help me as co
founder. buna is on the list but she never said anything. she is a
wonderful person but i think if she wanted to do anything for this
list or international students, she would have said something by now
or before. but i am not sure how to respond to this since she never
spoke much in the list and i know she was in the list since she did
communicate with me long time ago.
so that is my question, does nfb officials want to get involve with
helping internationals and people in under developed countries? that
is something i can not answer and most nfb officials are quiet on this
list and some don't even respond.
hina.
