A Not-Not Public Service Annoucement

I briefly co-hosted a sports talk radio show at my college, and every so often we were required to read PSA's (public service announcements). My co-host did the announcing. In retrospect, I could have memorized a few and done it myself, but it wasn't my top priority.

Anyway, my friend Andrew (who will hopefully write his own contribution to the blog soon) passed along this information for people with vision issues. I'm well aware that most people who read this are fully sighted, but if you know anyone who isn't, please pass this along... and thanks, Andrew!

We are looking for highly motivated and talented participants for the 2010 IISE course. To be able to reach blind and partially sighted potential candidates around the world we would like to ask you to send a small IISE advertisement to the friends and people in your networks. Please find below the advertisement in English. On the following link you can find the same advertisement in several languages: Advertisement IISE .
If your organization happens to have a Braille magazine, we’d be delighted if you could run the advertisement. Thank you very much for your help!

Attention! Attention!


Are you a blind or partially sighted person over the age of 18?
Do you experience social discrimination?
Is it your dream to change and improve the situation?
If yes, the International Institute for Social Entrepreneurs (IISE) is the right place to be.
The IISE seeks to empower people, especially blind and partially sighted, to become social entrepreneurs in your communities.

Candidates from all over the world who are at least eighteen and older and who can read and write English are invited to apply for this one-year program before the 30th of June 2009.

Computer literacy training, public speaking, fund raising, and management are some of the courses offered here.
