[Journalists] Blind women journalists in Gaza

[Pat Chadwick (PChadwick@INTERNEWS.ORG)]

Hi Liz,

Thanks for your email. They are currently using Braille typewriters and slate and stylus. But they don't have a good way to access the Internet and other computer files.

Best, Patricia

Hello Patricia,

Thank you for your note.
I am a reporter at the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. Have you contacted other journalism organizations, such as the Poynter Institute? 
If others on the list have suggestions for possible funding sources, please pss them along.
What sort of equipment are the women using now?

Sincerely,


Liz Campbell

Hi all,

The organization I work for is working with three blind women radio journalists in Gaza. They work for a radio station in Gaza that is by and for people with disabilities. Since this is not part of our regular project there, we are trying to raise additional funds to get some accessible equipment and software for them - Arabic Jaws and an Arabic Braillenote.

Please consider donating even a small amount and passing this on to anyone else you think will be interested. You can donate online here:

Thank you, Patricia Chadwick
