Hi all, 1. As others have said, leave the technology to techshare. 2. Blind sports. We need to include not only playing sports but also sports appreciation. For example, I have not fully understood how blind people follow cricket. Yes, there is the commentary but as far as I know, that gives you partial information. 3. Sex, dating, relationships, divorce, making wills, buying a house, renting (if that is a problem) when you are blind. 4. self-defense. This is not only martial arts but also maintaining situational awareness, using weapons at hand and not freezing in attack situations. 5. Entrepreneurship: selling to the sighted market. (Find a blind entrepreneur who sells to the sighted and get him or her to speak on how it is done.) 6. Disaster preparedness and the blind. What do you do if a cyclone, flood or other natural disaster strikes the area in which you are staying? You may want to add coping with fires and fire drills. 7. We could try and get someone from world access for the blind to talk and train on echo location. Yes, I know this did not work the last time but that does not mean that history will repeat itself. 8. How about a session on cooking when you are blind? 9. Do we have any blind models? If so, it would be interesting to hear from them. Pranav
