[il-talk] Please spread the word about our Chicago Bell Program

[Patti Chang]

We do not have enough kids for this program yet. Please help by spreading the word. BTW, we also have a Springfield BELL program which needs more students to run properly.

NFB BELL Academy - Placing Hands on the Future
The NFB BELL Academy helps blind and low-vision children, ages four through twelve, develop the literacy skills that will empower them to achieve their academic goals and live the lives they want. This year, with the assistance of our Wells Fargo partners, we provide opportunities for students to imagine, create, and touch their future and dreams; by not only raising expectations through Braille instruction, but by nurturing their development of tactile arts and graphics. Through the generous support of the American Action Fund for Blind Children and Adults, each student participant in the 2019 NFB BELL Academies will be provided with an inTACT Sketchpad. 
In Chicago, we will take four field trips utilizing mass transit.
