Click on oneplusone.org.cn to see their web site. There is English there.<BR/><BR/>I am in the UK, but I am part of a not for profit organisation 'China Vision' who have helped in the training of these fantastic visually impaired people. They also have 'equal opportunities' training from us.<BR/><BR/>Here's their postal address. <BR/><BR/>Postcode: 100077<BR/><BR/>Beijing<BR/><BR/>Fengtai District<BR/><BR/>Xiluoyuan 2 Qu<BR/><BR/>22 lou No.604<BR/><BR/>The 1 + 1 Centre<BR/><BR/>People's Republic of China<BR/><BR/>Unfortuantely I don't have their phone number as I use email to contact them or skype (when their broadband is up for it)<BR/><BR/>If you do manage to get in touch with them ask for Jin Ling who speaks excellent English and tell them you heard about them from me as I saw your Blog in my ever hopeful search for news about the visually impaired worldwide. this is for a project which they also know about : a newsletter which is sent out to people who are visually impaired or people within the education system in China. I find the english materials and they're sent to someone else - not in this Centre - to translate into Mandarin, with the english kept for those who read English, and the whole lot is turned into a fortnightly newsletter.<BR/><BR/>Hope you manage to meet my wonderful group of friends.<BR/><BR/>Sincerely<BR/><BR/>Chris McMillan<BR/>http://www.chinavision.org.uk/<BR/>http://www.oneplusone.org.cn Chris McMillanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09853925401765198624noreply@blogger.com
