[Nfbsf] Fwd: Facebook communication team contacts for program testing.

[Daniel Amaral Jr]

Hello everybody,

My name is Daniel. I got this message forwarded to me about Facebook reaching out to see if there's anybody in the bay area that wants to help them with testing on their new describing photos feature. I am 38 years old I have no vision at all I am bilaterally blind with no light perception and no vision at all. I am really interested and helping Facebook out with their new adventure so please email me back with more information thank you
