<br>
As many of you know, I am a Palestinian-American Muslim who still <br>
maintains contacts with other blind and visually impaired Palestinians <br>
in Palestine and the diaspora. One of my contacts is the disability <br>
support coordinator for Northern Israel. One of the students she is <br>
trying to help is a young blind Palestinian college student who is <br>
trying to major in computer science. This student needs a scientific <br>
calculator to use during exams, because she is not allowed to use her <br>
phone during tests.<br>
<br>
We did a google search and we found the prices of scientific calculators <br>
ranging between 600 and 700 US dollars. This price is prohibitive.<br>
<br>
Do you know of any place that sells scientific calculators at a <br>
reasonable price? If you do, please contact me either privately or on <br>
this list.<br>
<br>
Thanks a million for any help or suggestions.<br>
<br>
جزاكم الله خيرا.<br>
