[Nfbf-l] Hello from a new member

[taraprakash]

Hello Adrijana.

Welcome to this list. There are several other NFB lists which are not bound 
by the constraints of nationality.
As about your saying "I am not an NFB member, because I live in another 
country." I would say nothing stops you from being a member even if you are 
not an American. We do have members attending annual conventions from other 
countries, mostly from Canada. NFB recently has started a list serve for 
international members, you might like to have a look in to it. Social 
attitude towards blindness is a universal problem so you can join the cause 
any time. May be you can start a chapter in Macedonia? I will love NFB to 
change in to International Federation of the Blind.

I am sure you will have a good time on this list. Keep in touch.

TP
