[Blind-international-students] meeting today

Wed Sep 22 00:47:48 UTC 2010

I would love to help you and Jan with the mission and objectives, but what I am refering to is that some of us maybe you or Imrun could come and do a presentation on what it is like living as a blind person in Pakistian.
Any thoughts?
Anmol
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.
