>Dear Dr Andrews,
>I am trying to raise awareness of two projects I am currently involved in,
>both of which are non-profit and voluntary. I was hoping you could help
>raise this awareness through the National Federation for the Blind, US.
>
>The first project is the website ECO: On blindness and the arts, which can
>be found at:
>
>http://www.blindnessandarts.com
>
>It covers research, news and a who's who of this topic. It also has a
>gallery for sighted and VI users, to help raise awareness amongst the
>broader population.
>
>The second project I lead is research on computing and and blindness in
>education, entitled COMBINE. We are particularly looking for people who
>program computers and are registered blind. This project has already
>involved members of the British ComputerAssociation of the Blind, who also
>publish the reports of the research. However, I am also keen to involve
>participants from other countries, especially the US. The description and
>report of the pilot study can be found on the follwing webpages:
