Watch the interview from Futures in Blindness 2008 with Mike and Fatos
As Futures in Blindness 2008 winds up with its Closing Ceremony at the Ciroz Camp located in Istanbul, Turkey, Mike and Fatos Floyd give an interview with a reporter from a Turkish TV channel. They reflect alternately in English and Turkish upon the experience Team Turkey has had. After a two week/120 hour program accredited by the Turkish Ministry of Education, it is difficult to say who has benefited more from the training mission. While the Turkish program participants have worked on alternative skills of blindness developed in the U. S., Team Blind Corps has been deeply moved and inspired by the enthusiastic and motivated involvement and achievement by their students. The 9-member Team included President Michael Floyd, Vice President Fatos Floyd, Secretary Nancy Flearl, Treasurer Connie Daly, Board Member Robert Newman, Board Member Buna Dahal, Board Member John Schmitt, Kim Adams, and Dan Hill.
