I wish to express my heartfelt condolences to Gabrielle’s family and friends.

Meanwhile, I would like you guys to know that I am here in the US for a brief while.  I came over to attend the tenth Session of the Conference of States Parties to the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities which took place at the UN in New York from 13 to 15 June.  After the conference I went down to Maryland for a few days.  I am currently in Columbus OH but will be back in Maryland on Friday June 30.  I will be leaving for Sierra Leone again on Thursday July 6.  I will probably not be able to see any of you but I will try to reach some of you by phone.  I wish you all a very successful national convention in July.

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.
