In an effort to support blind children and their education during this trying time of uncertainty, NFBTX is offering an Essay contest. These essays are meant to be a way for children to explore what they are going through and process their feelings. Hopefully in writing things down, it will enable children to feel more in control of their surroundings and empowered in their situations.
