Hi there.

I am Michael Park from South Africa and I am glad to be able to be on this list. 
I am a totally blind person. I am 52 years old and am presently studying at 
Bible college to go into pastoral counselling.

Since I am a diabetic myself, I am particularly interested in doing diabetic 
counselling and have been accredited as such by our local diabetes association, 
although I essentially operate under the umbrella of our church or as a peer 
group counsellor under the banner of Disability Connection, an advocacy group 
for the rights of the disabled in South Africa. I am particularly interested in 
counselling the disabled person who is diabetic and hope in due season to post a 
couple of questions here that I have stumbled on in the course of my work. I 
suspect that this field is not being adequately addressed the world over, but 
here in South Africa, the situation, to say the least, is grim when it comes to 
the disabled diabetic person.

Looking forward to participating in the list.

Sincerely.

-- Michael Park
"I will bring the blind by a way they did not know; I will lead them in paths 
they have not known. I will make darkness light before them, and crooked places 
straight. These things I will do for them, and not forsake them." (Isaiah 42:16 
NKJV).

We support NVDA, a free screenreading program for the blind, giving high quality 
computer access to many commercial applications, as well as portability.
