[Blind-international-students] meeting this sunday

[Philip So]

A group is definitely taking shape.  That's great.
Yes, we want to have a group name that reflects that we also welcome
non-students as well as non-internationals interested in blind issues
around the world.
We also want to keep the group multi-purpose, both as a socialization
group as well as a group that carries out projects to benefit blind
people in developing countries, such as producing online teaching
video clips to teach computer skills, as Hina suggests.  I think
that's a great idea.
