>Dear Mr. Andrews –
>
>I’m writing to ask for help from the NFB on 
>behalf of an amazing blind student.
>
>Ayusa is a premier exchange student organization 
>that participates in the US Department of State 
>YES scholarship program.  This year, Ayusa is 
>welcoming Dominique from Senegal on 
>program.  Dominique is legally blind and uses a 
>Braille tablet for his schoolwork.  He plays 
>adaptive soccer and would like to learn other 
>adaptive sports as well.   He also enjoys debate.
>
>Ayusa is searching for a supportive host family 
>and school combination for Dominque.  Would you 
>be able to assist us with sharing his story and 
>helping us find him a placement?  We are a 
>nationwide agency and have representatives in 
>most major cities where schools for the blind 
>are located.  I have already spoken to the 
>Indianapolis School for the Blind and they would 
>love to have Dominique as a student, if a 
>suitable host family could be found.
>
>Please feel free to contact me with any 
>questions you may have.  We greatly appreciate 
>your support and consideration.
>
>Sincerely,
>Jess
