I pledge to participate actively in the efforts of the

its Constitution.
 
4. One Minute Message, Mario Hooee
The National Federation of the Blind knows that
Blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your
future. Every day we raise the expectations of blind people
because low expectations of blind people create obstacles
between blind people and their dreams. You can live the life
you want; blindness is not what holds you back.
