[Faith-talk] feeling like i am not important

[Andrew Edgcumbe]

Well I am from Canada and services in Canada for the blind are very
limited and things there is no learning center like the us has and
they don't have  much for the blind  I am in a very rural area and
things.
I  do read braille but  only grade 1 braille. the school for the blind
told me that i did not need grade 2 braille because most things are in
audio and braille is not nessisary.
