*🕚*
* Time: 11:00 AM **💬** Topic: “Be My Eyes: Real-World Support Through
Visual Assistance”*

*In our fast-paced world, technology plays a crucial role in enhancing
accessibility and improving the quality of life for individuals with vision

for visual support through live video.*

   made a difference.*
   - *Community Sharing: Even if you're already familiar with the app, we
   encourage you to join us! You'll have the opportunity to share your own
   stories, tips, and recommendations. This is how we build community—by
   learning from and supporting one another.*

*Why Attend?*

*Be My Eyes empowers users to navigate their environment, solve everyday
challenges, and connect with others in meaningful ways. Whether you're
