[Blind-international-students] A name

[Anmol Bhatia]

Know I don't really like NFB without borders. smile I think we have a good name and it kind of fits in with the Friends of International committee within the NFB.
I seldom think about my limitations, and they never make me sad. Perhaps there is just a touch of yearning at times; but it is vague, like a breeze among flowers.
