Hi, all. This comes from the Jobs mailing list that I am on, and is written by Mike Bullis, of Blind Industries and Services of Maryland, or BISM, as they abbreviate it. All his contact info is below. Check it out, if you're interested. Here it is.
Already have a life, but want a job to express your passion?
Are you intrigued by the possibilities for blind people to express their
potential and excited about what current and future challenges offer us
in growth
opportunities?
Do social stereotypes about people who are blind scare you for their
reality in your and other's lives and yet push you to change them?
Do you want to push the envelope for teaching Braille, travel and
cooking to adults, helping create a new standard of excellence for
future generations?
Does finding excellence in your own skills of blindness excite you?
If you are reasonably free to move to Baltimore Maryland and find these
questions strike a chord in you, give me a call and let's talk. The
eight month
Rehabilitation program at Blind Industries and Services of Maryland is
seeking a Braille instructor. More than a Braille instructor we're
looking for
a person who wishes to join in our adventure. It's the daily adventure
of working with staff who believe that doing a job means doing whatever
it takes,
whether it's in your job description or not, to help students grow and
join the mainstream of society. Although Braille is your central job,
it's about
travel and cooking and computers and personal counseling and
fund-raising and the fun and excitement of new projects.
We don't care so much that you're a trained teacher, although that can
help. What we'd like you to have is functional blindness skills and the
passion
to make them better. We'd also like you to have an excitement about
watching others change their lives through immersion in the skills of
blindness, and
the desire to help them in the process.
Baltimore is the home of the National Center for the Blind and the
National Federation of the Blind's headquarters. Being here gives us
the opportunity
to be at the creative confluence of change in what it means to be blind.
If the challenge of daily building a future for people who are blind
through intensive rehabilitation teaching gets you excited, let's talk.
Sincerely,
Mike Bullis

wow that would be a fun job. I want it.
Though Baltimore isn't far from here I really don't want to uproot and move.
Hi Dawn. How do you get on that job e-mail list? I'm very interested. Thanks
