[Blind-international-students] possible name selections

[hina altaf]

hi friends,
we are blind, students and internationals but this group should be for
blind internationals who are in US and they don't have to be students,
and at some point we also intend to make this group a social network,
advocacy group where we take some small projects and help blind
internationals world wide and those internationals who come here,
equipped them with right information and resources. thanks.
hina.
