[nabs-l] German Teen Losing Vision

[Vejas Vasiliauskas]

When I attended LCB, there was a student there who was from 
Poland, and another from Iceland, so it is doable.  I'm not sure 
how they went about it, but maybe if they emailed Pam Allen 
pallen at louisianacenter.org, they could talk about how it could 
get done when they are 18.

Subject: [nabs-l] German Teen Losing Vision

Hi there everyone,

I'd like to seek some advice from my federation friends.

I run a blindness blog on Tumblr, and today, A 15-year-old in 
Germany reached out to me about losing their vision.  I helped 
them quite a lot and gave them some information about the 
Federation, as well as a lot of information about training 
centers.  But it wasn't until after this that they told me they 
are in Germany, so I am not sure how else to help.  They sounded 
extremely interested in all of this, especially about training, 
but I don't know about anything like what we have here 
internationally.  Does anybody know if there is quality training 
available in Germany or another place nearby, or something else 
we can do for them? I am hoping to find international resources, 
or perhaps someway to send them to one of our summer programs, 
but I am on sure how any of that would work.

If anybody has any information on this or knows of somebody that 
might be a better person to talk to, please let me know!
