She's tried getting ahold of our leadership in Colorado, but hasn't been having much luck, it seems, if I'm understanding the situation correctly. If I'm not, please forgive me. But now, she's almost out of time, because she has a deadline.

You apparently have to see to be competent to do childcare. Who knew? Someone should tell the hundreds if not thousands of blind parents  - maybe more in this country, I'm not sure - that if they are blind, hey, they shouldn't be taking care of their children. I mean, who knows what might happen to those poor kids? At least, that seems to be the conclusion of the leadership at PPCC. They say you must be able to see, to work in childcare with them. Even though Rebekah's major is Early Childhood Education, and she was absolutely born to work with kiddos. Just sayin. ;-)
