When you call a blind person on their cell phone always call twice. Once for them to find the phone and the other call is so they can answer once they find it.

My good friend Mrs. greenlaw who is the 2nd Vice President of the Arizona State affiliate and President of the Phoenix chapter delivered a powerful speech on invoking change. We started out as a chapter with changing the mindset of the blind in Georgia and now that the change has come we have moved into an area of prosperity and freedom from the mind being stuck on tradition and customary ways of doing things. I am proud of her and the accomplishments that she’s made and when you listen you will see that she is not afraid of change because it’s what is needed to become the individuals that the world will see very shortly. After listening add your comments below and remember change will come, but it’s only you that can make the change happen.

I hopped on the bus with the unsolicited assistance of a person that was sure that the number 10 bus was pulling off right then. The helpful lady Pulled, pushed, and bullied us to the side of the barely moving fixed route bus. The driver slammed on the brakes and opened the doors, as the lady rained blows on the side wall of the public transportation. The driver’s breath caught in his throat as the lady thrust me onto the bus. “Is this the 10?”
I asked as the lady dashed away to assist someone else. “Uh huh,” said the driver as I gained my balance.

“The real problem of blindness is not the loss of eyesight. The real problem is the misunderstanding and lack of information that exist. If a blind person has proper training and opportunity, blindness can be reduced to a physical nuisance.” (www.nfb.org).
