[Community-service] Volunteer opportunity with Empowerment Through Integration

[Darian Smith]

All:
   
 While this doesn’t  entirely fit what we might do as a  division,  as federationists we  do find opportunities to help our blind brothers and sisters live the lives they want and have done this for the past 75 years.
 If you find this opportunity  makes sense for you please be in contact  with  Greg.
  Thanks so much!

Empowerment Through Integration (ETI), a non profit dedicated to empowering blind youth in developing nations, is actively recruiting volunteers to assist with our programs. To date we have run programs in Lebanon and Nicaragua and plan to eventually expand to other areas as well.

In particular, we are looking for individuals interested in helping develop curricula for summer camp programs, parent seminars, and ongoing social projects; individuals to help manage our social media; and individuals interested in traveling with a team to run our summer camps, parent seminars, and ongoing social projects. We are also looking for individuals who can connect us with the broader blind community, both domestically and internationally.

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.
 “We need your service, right now, at this moment - our moment - in history. I'm not going to tell you what your role should be; that's for you to discover. But I am going to ask you to play your part; ask you to stand up; ask you to put your foot firmly into the current of history” — Barack Obama 
Did you know that   your  unwanted vehicle can be just what is needed to help         drive	 change for the blind .
