Hi everyone,
I have been corresponding off and on over the last year with Adrijana.
She has some interesting stories and unique struggles that we here in
the US don't have. She teaches about 25 students English and other
subjects.
She is always in need of Braille materials such as textbooks,
magazines, children's books, etc.
Anyway, there's my two cents worth.
Have a great day.
