8a Solving the problem

The opportunity that I would like to exploit is the lack of advocacy for visually impaired and blind people. Specifically, thereis a huge need for awareness, as well as employment. For awareness, I have noticed that people just do not know what to do when they see a blind person. Based on peoples actions its obvious they are contemplating weather they should help, or just leave them alone. That's where I come in! As far as employment goes, almost 80% of blind people are unemployed, and my goal is to help lower that.

To create a solution for these problems I would like to create a non profit organization that focuses on bringing awareness to the masses, and teach them the capabilities and limitations of blind people. This could include info sessions  at high schools, colleges, businesses, etc. Also, I would like to address the issue of blind unemployment. Aside from hosting detailed info sessions  at small and large businesses, it would also be cool if we could create a networking group that is filled with successful blind individuals, as well as blind people that aspire to grow in their professional lives. The successful ones can give the others advice, and they can also help them gain connections in the business world.
