[nabs-l] Volunteer to help blind orphans in China

[Beth]

Crystal,
What can the folks at the CCB in Denver, Colorado do for the
orphanage?  What can any ordinary people do to help the kids?  I am
interested in helping blind people overseas too, but not China
necessarily.  But it's fascinating.  Do you have Skype?  Do write me
off list at
thebluesisloose at gmail.com

Thank you,
Beth Taurasi
