[humanser] February "Braille Monitor"

[adrijana prokopenko]

Thanks, I enjoy being on this group and live in Macedonia, but have
also traveled to other places in the past, like North Cyprus, Romania,
Poland, Turkey, Greece, Bulgaria and the US.
I contacted the NFB at the address they suggested, which is:
nfb at nfb.org
but no one replied to me on that. I also contacted some NFB
individuals and they suggested that I form an NFB branch in Macedonia,
but I don't think I could do it on my own and for this I need lots of
help and support from outside as well.
