We need to know how National stands on this issue. Being blind in America is not
like being blind in India. We have resorces to help. Does India have the same
help to its blind population? In India it is better to be visual than blind It
is a third world country and does not give great help to its disabled
population.</SPAN><o:p></o:p></P>

<P>NFB is an advocacy organization; it is not, to the best of my knowledge, a
charity. The collection and disbursement of money for the benefit of the child
who is the subject of this discussion is a charitable endeavor If this is to be
an NFB-sanctioned undertaking, then it seems to me that NFB National's
permission must be secured to proceed in its name.<o:p></o:p></P>
