[Blindtlk] Information for a Bosnian person.

[Chris Nusbaum]

Hi Judy,

The World Blind Union (WBU) is a wonderful resource for blind 
people all over the world! Our own Federation is a member 
organization of it.  I'd also look into any organizations of the 
blind in Bosnia.  I don't know for sure if there is one in that 
country, but a search online for blindness organizations in 
Bosnia or something like that should probably give you some 
information.  But the WBU is a great resource for that as well, 
as virtually all the blindness organizations in the world are 
member organizations of them.  Hope this helps!

"The real problem of blindness is not the loss of eyesight.  The 
real problem is the misunderstanding and lack of education that 
exists.  If a blind person has the proper training and 
opportunity, blindness can be reduced to a mere physical 
nuisance."
-- Kenneth Jernigan (President, National Federation of the Blind, 
1968-1986

Greetings:

Am interested in some advice.  There is a Bosnian person our 
agency is serving.  He is recently blinded, little to no English, 
and needs good, proactive and accurate information, such as we 
get through NFB.  I've thought about finding out about the World 
Blind Union, but am very open to any ideas.  Thanks in advance.

Judy Jones
