Dear Asa, Noreen, Mike Debiec & RP youth members,
Thank you for your warm welcome. First I have to say apologize for my
belated reply as I my office is close for the past seven days. Also I went
to my friends flat to spent the time and couldn't able to sit in front of my
PC.

Asa,
Yes I got an email from Caisa. I replied her and waiting for her message.
Hope I will get valuable information from her. Meantime I would like to
know more about you so that we can get closer and can exchange our views and
problems.

Noreen Power-Waldron,
As of now I am in power sector. i.e. substation and transmission line and
power plant EPC contracts. I am working as a Project Coordinator, looking
after the project management and Design aspects. In addition to this I have
sound knowledge of many software; suppose to be in software sector. Due to
my RP problem I can't continue in my present fielding near future. So I am
looking for a career in management and software oriented job.
You are right Noreen. There is lack of information for the visually
impaired persons. Because of this they are mentally stressed. I have to
appreciate you for initiating to focus on this topic in Sweden meeting.

I would like to know more about the software for the visually impaired
person and opportunity for the person with RP. Can you tell more about you?

Mike Debiec
Hi Mike glad to meet you. How are you? how is life?

It is inspiring me to meet you all in this energetic group. Hope I will be
one among you. Looking forward to get more mails from you guys and other
members of the group.

Best Regards,
Sundar

 Dear Sundar and warmly welcome to the list!
I think there are quite a few on the list that works with computers. Caisa
from Sweden is one of them. I am a student in PSychology so I do not face
these problems in the same way.

Hope to see you later on the list!
Best Reg.
Asa from Sweden
