Stacy will develop an online community for blind travelers. Conchita will hold a conference in Mexico where people in the blindness community can come together and share knowledge.
Each year the prizewinners join us in San Francisco for a whirlwind week of orientation, interviews and activities, which we call Holman Welcome Week. And this year, we’re giving all our students multiple opportunities to meet and get ot know the winners before they embark on their projects.
