[Oagdu] Fwd: [Blindtlk] Guide Dog Users' Organization Launches Innovative Mobile App

[Aleeha Dudley]

This is going to be very useful for all of us. Since it is a smart phone app, we will literally have this information at our fingertips. I am extremely excited about this! I'm about to go download it and take a look. I plan to send an email later with my thoughts on the app. This is the press release

> About the NFB
> 
>        The National Federation of the Blind is the oldest and largest
> organization of the blind in the United States. The NFB believes that the
> real problem of blindness is not the loss of eyesight, but low expectations
> of the blind that create obstacles to achieving their highest potential. The
> Federation provides scholarships to blind students; support for those who
> are blind or losing their eyesight; advocacy for the blind facing
> discrimination; and educational programs for the general public on topics of
> blindness. The NFB is not an organization that speaks on behalf of the
> blind; they are the blind speaking for themselves. For more information
> about the National Federation of the Blind, you can visit their website at
