Couldn't have said it better; loved the positive, upbeat end "Now, tell me
I'm wrong!") to your below message, Carly!

Good afternoon, Adrijana,

         I'm sure there's more than enough work that has been left undone
for blind people of Macedonia. As far as I know, the NFB opperates
exclusively within the United States and it has quite a lot of people whom
serve it. The Macedonian blind population, on the other hand, I don't
imagine has been so blessed to have people who are as intimately familiar
with American culture and language in the way that you are whom are anxious
to give of themselves to advance blind people's civil rights. Therefore,
seems your services are needed for blind people of Macedonia. Now, tell me
I'm wrong!
