[Blind-international-students] A name

[hina altaf]

not sure what you mean by blind without borders. we are thinking of a
name change so all internationals students professionals and anyone
who is either interested in helping or is associated with
internationals in anyway or is international, can join the group as
well. any suggestions? hina.
