Hi all. We are attempting to purchase canes for the Common Sense cane bank, and would like to hear from anyone interested in borrowing a cane from us, and what height their child is, or what size they might want. We are going to purchase canes from the NFB (www.nfb.org), as they are the best ones (in our opinion), and then cane tips from the Rnib. We will order some NFB type 2 canes and some type 10. Please get in touch with Sarah with details. We look forward to helping every child involved with Common Sense, (whether blind or partially sighted, fully mobile or more physically challenged) having the chance to develop their independence with the help of a long cane - an essential tool in every blind childs life.
We are hoping to have a CANE PARTY, give each child their cane and invite the press to raise awareness of the importance of long canes.
I look forward to hearing from you!
Sarah
