[blindkid] new school for blind in China

[Debby B]

This is terrific! I'll have to get more information from you. We have a young 
friend who was so inspired by the sister they adopted from China that she is now 
a missionary in China, working to education blind children.
We'll be praying for your family, too! How soon do you go?
