The Blind Children's Learning Center

I participated in a 5K walk today to raise money for the Blind Children's Learning Center in Santa Ana, California. The BCLC helps to develop the full potential of blind and visually impaired children and youth. It was a great morning and so much fun to see both the center and the children who benefit from it. Especially touching was a set of songs performed by Cody Lee, a very talented boy who attends the center.

Our plan is to work with organizations like the Blind Children's Learning Center to help bring audio learning programs to blind and visually impaired youth. One of the things we're hoping to roll out soon is a program where you can donate used audiobooks and we'll work to get them into hands of youth like the ones who attend the BCLC. Audio learning represents an awesome opportunity for these children to learn more about the world and we're very happy to be able to support that.
