My daily work with the youth is not challenging; I lead youth nights and bible studies, and I've done this for years. However, 3 times a year, I take my youth to large conferences where crowds of about 5000 teenagers and youth ministers gather. These places are loud, busy, and there is a lot going on at once. As a blind person, I've been having a hard time keeping track of my students and leading them to activities effectively. Thankfully I do have volunteers in these trips who help me out with leading students and keeping track of them, but I'm the youth minister, and I want to take a more active role in these trips; I want to be the one leading students, telling people where to go and what's coming next, and I want to be able to keep track of them myself.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>Anyway, I'm reaching out to see if any of you knows someone in your chapter or affiliate who is doing something similar who could give me some suggestions.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>Hope to hear from someone soon.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>Sincerely,<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>Ana<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div id=Signature><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div style='margin-left:30.0pt'><p class=MsoNormal>Ana Martinez Larumbe<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>Adore Missionary<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>(318)-737-0629<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>"Give me souls and take the rest"-St. John Bosco<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div></div></body></html>
