[nabs-l] Request for blindness items donations

[minh ha]

Hello all,

Happy New Year! I am writing to request donations for a school for the
blind in Vietnam, where I am from originally. My mom will be going
back to Vietnam at the end of March, and she is visiting the school
for the blind that I attended when I lost my vision at the age of 7.
It's a school for the blind, but it doubles as an orphanage since a
lot of blind children in the country are abandoned by parents and
relatives. A group of Catholic nuns run the school, and they solely
rely on donations from visitors to give the students an education.

Here is my request: If you have old canes (doesn't matter how old or
battered), slates and styluses, talking/braille watches, or any small
blindness related items that you no longer use, I would love to take
them off of your hands. My mom can bring these items back with her and
donate them to the school. They will appreciate any contributions,
regardless of its condition. Feel free to email me if you have any
questions or concerns; thank you so much for your assistance in
advance.

Best,
Minh

but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on
their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible." T. E. Lawrence
