[Blindtlk] Help please

[Stephanie]

Hi! 
I don't know much about CCB, but I know the Louisiana Center for the Blind has a quite a few international students that are currently attending and recent graduates as well. Pam Allen is the director and maybe she can give you more information if you want to check out another option. I hope everything works out. Where are you from?
