Hi Friends,
Hope reading this article recharges your batteries as much as writing
it did for me.

Ad: If it was up to you to teach legally blind children, would you
insist that they use their remaining vision as much as possible, even if
it meant that they were functionally illiterate and one day they would
walk in front of a truck with their young child? Or, would you want to
give them the tools and awareness to become successful adults who could
function independently and safely? The answer may seem obvious, but
thousands of America's blind kids are being forced to settle for a
substandard education, leading to lives of dependence with little chance
for employment and unnecessary danger. Jody Ianuzzi is a Major in the
Civil Air Patrol and a martial arts instructor. Along with her friend
Debbby Bracket, who holds a master's in early childhood education, she
is changing what it means to be blind.
