Dear Members,

The mission for establishing the Spanish committee of the National
Federation of the Blind of NJ will be to provide Spanish-speaking blind
adults and parents of blind children the support, information, and
assistance they need in a language they understand.  Creating possibilities
by raising expectations so that Spanish-speaking blind individuals can live
the life they want is the true purpose behind the development of the Spanish
committee.

The goals and objectives of the committee will be to:

•Introduce Spanish-speaking blind individuals and parents of blind children
to the advantages and opportunities available to them through the National
Federation of the Blind.
•Assist blind individuals and parents of blind children to create achievable
goals and to have high expectations in their lives based on innovative Ideas
and new possibilities.
•Help parents of blind children to better equip and support their child to
live the life of their dreams without allowing negative barriers to limit
them from achieving their goals.
•Provide monthly discussions in Spanish on assistive technology, accessible
Services, training programs and other opportunities that can help blind
individuals succeed on a personal level as well as in any profession or
career path they choose to pursue.
•Introduce Spanish-speaking experts, trainers, and other professionals in a
variety of fields that will motivate and empower blind individuals to have
the confidence to meet their challenges head-on.
•Raise money through fund raisers in order to provide Spanish-speaking blind
individuals with scholarships to be used for training, equipment, and other
items and endeavors that can significantly improve their quality of life.
•And so much more!

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 create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams.
You can live the life you want; blindness is not what holds us back.

By being a part of the Spanish committee, Spanish individuals are in the
best position to learn and grow with a federation that cares about creating
limitless possibilities for all blind people.  You will benefit greatly from
a team of people that will work shoulder to shoulder to make a difference in
the lives of many.  We cordially invite you to join the Spanish committee
and look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,


Rosa Santiago
Spanish Committee Chair
