Our local news cast just had a report about people who are blind sewing U.S. Army camoflague Battle dress uniforms. There are 50 or 60 workers who are all sight impared and thay have contracted to make 100,000 uniforms a year for the next 3 years. El Paso Lighthouse for the blind is planning on expanding their facility because of this.
Bye
