They should sell dafs directly on world-famous www.ebay.com
ebay has a lot more visitors than

Sad and beautiful! This is what happens when cousins get married
by obama on Fri Jul 23, 2010 11:35 PM PDTBlind children! I am not 100% sure if that's the reason, but it is very likely. Genetically are so close, and adding the cousin to it.....That is one of the major causes, now that there is no VABA!
Is the buyer who negotiates for the price the same guy who was in the kordish-iranian movie "Half Moon" playing the role of the bus driver? Sure looks and sounds the same to me!
This is what happens when there is no social welfare. Even the blinds would learn to work, and feel positive about who they are becoming a productive member of society. Education would be great, but it sure beats the disability checks!
How did you like the corsi? God bless them!
Beautiful & Painful
by HHH on Fri Jul 23, 2010 09:09 PM PDTBeautiful to see with how little tools these blind kids make such an instrument.
Painful to see these blind kids having to work at such young age instead of going to school, learning to read and write in Braille.
Loved it! with a big L

I loved it
by iamfine on Fri Jul 23, 2010 08:02 PM PDTI really enjoyed watching it. I definitely prefer to watch a short documentary like this over a typical two hour movie with that has no value.
