World Access for the Blind is hosting a soccer clinic in July for blind youth in the Orange County area. Our goal is to raise awareness by demonstrating that blind children can learn to compensate for their disability and enjoy fun, recreational activities such as soccer. We also want moms and dads to know that they can still play ball with their children, even if their children cannot see. We have many soccer clinic sponsorship and volunteer opportunities if you or your company would like to partner with World Access for the Blind to improve the lives of blind youth in our community.

We have launched our Laptop Donation Program! Do you or company have laptops with non-functioning monitors? Would you like to make a real difference in the lives of the blind and also receive a tax-deductible receipt for these computers? World Access for the Blind can arrange to pick up these computers from your home or office and make them accessible for blind students. We are also looking for more tech-savvy volunteers to make the computers ready for students. Contact Steve Broxterman at steve@worldaccessfortheblind.org or at (248) 860-9548.
