<DIV id=AOLMsgPart_1_2ba6cf42-6bde-4242-9372-f5def5871704>Hello listservers.
For those that subscribe to <I>Future Reflections</I> magazine, you'll see
this short announcement in the upcoming issue. <BR>I wanted to give this
community a sneak peek at this exciting initiative first and a chance to get
involved right away. <BR>Below is the announcement, how you can get involved
in sharing your video for this purpose, and where to go for more information.
<BR>-------------------------------------------------------------------<BR>
<DIV class=MsoNormal>Two mothers in the San Francisco Bay area have launched
an exciting project to promote positive images of blind children and adults.
If you have short home videos of your blind child reading Braille, playing the
flute, wrestling with siblings, climbing a tree, or engaged in any other
activity, ordinary or extraordinary, please submit them for inclusion in the
Liberate Us Library. Other ideas for videos to share include public speaking,
independent mobility, sports and recreation, or a performance. (Blind adults
are invited to submit videos too.) <BR></DIV>
<DIV class=MsoNormal>The collection of videos will become a YouTube channel,
taking advantage of a vital communications medium used by millions of people
worldwide. Liberate Us will orchestrate a national media outreach campaign to
share the video collection so that positive images hit the airwaves at the
same time they are spread online. <BR></DIV>
<DIV class=MsoNormal>Here's your chance to participate in an initiative that
can truly break down stereotypes and show the public how real blind people go
about their lives. Liberate Us is seeking funding from foundations to produce
personal success stories professionally in video, audio, and written forms.
Having video examples as a YouTube channel is a critical step in the
grant-writing process. Your videos will be instrumental in the awareness
campaign and inspirational to families of young blind children. Please join
in. <BR></DIV>
<DIV class=MsoNormal>Step One: Upload a one- to three-minute video clip that
supports this awareness message at <<A class=moz-txt-link-abbreviated
title=http://www.youtube.com/ href="http://www.youtube.com/"
target=_blank>www.youtube.com</A>>. Here are two sample videos: <<A

href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YntKTaa3ciw"

class=moz-txt-link-abbreviated
title=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JL0d6J0gxl0
href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JL0d6J0gxl0"
target=_blank>www.youtube.com/watch?v=JL0d6J0gxl0</A>>. Once your video is
uploaded, copy the unique URL in your browser window and continue. <BR></DIV>
<DIV class=MsoNormal>Step Two: Go to <<A class=moz-txt-link-abbreviated
title=http://www.babymilagro.org/ href="http://www.babymilagro.org/"
target=_blank>www.babymilagro.org</A>>. Find the "tell us your story" box
and describe the video clip - the person, the event, and anything else you
want the audience to know. Paste in the unique URL to your YouTube video with
your story and send it. <BR></DIV>
<DIV class=MsoNormal>That's it. You can also burn videos to a CD and mail them
to:<BR>Liberate Us Video Library Project<BR>ATTN: Grace
