[nabs-l] message regarding Independence 2011

[Jorge Paez]

Humberto:
I don't know about Independence,
since I didn't go to it.
But be sure to check out Life 101, from BLIND INC.
their site is http://www.blindinc.org
They're based in Minneapolis Minnesota.

I went to their program last year.

Its very helpful and really made me independent, not only did they teach me the stuff, but they forced me to think out of the box, which came in handy in a lot of places--specially while I was at the convention.
