> Hi, NABSters,
> 
> There was quite a bit of talk at convention about blind people going
> abroad to work or study.  Perhaps you heard Justin Harford speak at
> NABS about the #BlindAbroad campaign or Serena Olsen speak about her
> Peace Corps work in Kurgystan.  Maybe both.
> 
> The Ohio Association of Blind Students will be hosting a call this
> Thursday and will be taking advantage of these resources discussed at
> convention to feature a panel of great advisors and students like you
> who have traversed the globe.  Juanita from Abroad With Disabilities,
> a non-profit organization which empowers students with disabilities to
> study abroad, will be on the call and might be bringing one of her
> team members.  Juanita founded AWD and has assembled an experienced
> and worldly team of fellow students who are great sources of
> information on studying abroad.  Serena Olsen has also been invited to
> join the panel, and will be there if timing and her travels allow.  I,
> Kaiti Shelton, will also sit on the panel as a student who just
> completed a study abroad program in Jamaica at the end of June.
> Someone from Mobility International USA may also make an appearance to
> speak with us about the #BlindAbroad campaign, of which I am a proud
> supporter on twitter.
> 
> If you've ever had dreams of Spanish emersion programs, or just
> casually asking where you might find the loo, the Ohio Association of
> Blind Students has you covered.  To join the call please dial the
> following shortly before 7:30 PM.  The call will start promptly out of
> respect for our guests.
> 
> Phone: 218)339-0896
> Code: 78833687 or the word students.
> 
> We hope to see some of you there as we discuss studying and working
> abroad as a way to live the life you want!
