    I really like this app. The amazing part is that the ratio seems to be 19:1 of volunteers to visually impaired. My only complaint is that I don’t get enough calls! I hope the visually impaired know we want to be there for them in this way and they should never hesitate to call and ask for assistance.

      BTW I am colour blind and will volunteer, but I think there are times when I could also use it. I would never to a urine dip stick test myself, always had my secretaries read the colours, but there were times when they weren't there.
      And now I do a lot with climate charts, and I can't see lots of data.

      Yes, we do know that you’re there and available to help us. And, thank you. I for one, always tend to get a little overenthusiastic or rather over emotional, when ever I get help from one of you guys. As I tend to be very grateful. And excited :-)
