[Nfbk] Just became an NFB member

[adrijana prokopenko]

 Thanks all for the great welcome. I already know about both the World
blind union and the European blind union. I met dr. Colin Low
personally at a Balkan conference a couple of years ago that gathered
national organizations of the blind in the region and we specifically
talked about issues such as education, employment and other such
things. On the other hand, the world blind union is not a union that
us ordinary people can get close to, because it comprises of different
organizations of the blind, similar  to the European union. The NFB
itself has most branches in the US, but it also has some in the UK and
India and even though I am so far from the US, there are options on
the NFB site under the member link that also allow us blind people
from other countries to become members at large. I never knew about
this until someone told me and I truly love your organization and feel
as if I am a part of it, so that is one reason why I wanted to join
and be of help to others in every way possible. I hope you can help me
do that.
