Seeing together...

Finally! It's high time to release "Seeing together" as a name of our information blogs (in English and Polish), as well as key words too, for Safety Shelter initiated ministry among visually impaired people in Poland. Visually impaired people are building relations with each other and working together with people without sight problems to find solutions for physical, social and spiritual needs.

We don't do this alone. Not at all! We have already a good group together with us. The meeting in Zakosciele with all its enthusiasm, and joyful trip around in Poland in June together with Robert and Stanislaw confirm it.

And beside this: We have good backing and inspiration in KABB, the Norwegian Christian ministry among blind and partly sighed people. Very important and very great that Ingvar Nevland, KABB's general secretary joined us in our Zakosciele conference.

Yes, we know: Our joiners are waiting for more information and what we allready are able to do together.

Equipment - some set of magnifiers - were delivered to new users at our June trip - a great help for users troubling with low vision.

Robert and Stanislaw, Krystyna and Åsmund have for the first period the function as core organizing group. Robert has been a part of Safety Shelter as long as our foundation has existed. He and his low vision challenges gave us the kick.

Robert has great experience in giving advice and instruction, listening and being oriented in every new appearing person's low vision problems. He is ready to take up a calling phone.

Stanislaw has not that long record in Safety Shelter relation. Nevertheless, he has lot of enthusiasm. This has led him to establishing an own Facebook page. We are now coordinating the blogs and the Facebook page as well.

And more enthusiasm: Marcin, Barbara and Darek in Pabianice, Konrad in Lodz, Bogdan and Aniela in Wegrow, Renata, Bozena and Aldona in Lublin and Mirek in Terespol, Krystyna in Braniewo, and the great musicians from Missio Musica: Basia from Poznan, Piotr from Kalisz and Jurek and Gosia from Sopot. are not forgotten too.

A great Polish group! And a foreigner too joined us, Ethiopian Ashebir living in Finland.

The blogs are going to be used for further presentation and coming news. As the possibility to develop an offer of sight assessment for persons with low vision problems.

We met Marek and Bozena who are in the field for assessments in June and looking forward to clear out possibilities for cooperation.

And well in mind the one of the main missions for the Norwegian KABB, creating spiritual and  sosial fellowships. An important contribution to strengthening the relation with the Lord.
