WAFTB News
July 23, 2007
AremeniaNow.com has an
article online about Dan Kish and Brian Bushway's participation last
month in the international Armenian Eye Care Project (AECP) Ophthalmology
Conference.
September 1, 2006
Dan Kish and World Access for the Blind appear in the final chapter of
A Sense of the World, a book by Jason Roberts' about a blind Englishman
named James Holman, who traveled throughout the world in the 1800's without
need of assistance. Staying one step ahead of those desiring to
institutionalize or infantilize him for his blindness, Holman traveled more
miles than any other explorer prior to motorized transportation. Artist,
poet, and sportsman, this extraordinary individual ventured through jungles,
across deserts, and over seas, ever embracing the world, and always reaching
for the "more" that he could become. Roberts names Dan Kish "the Spiritual
Successor to James Holman." See
this Time Magazine link for a review of this captivating and
inspirational account.
