From the GEB website:
Pennsylvanian Kari Y. joined her sister, Brenda H.,
in Guiding Eyes’ March class. Kari, diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa at the
age of seven, has returned for Olson, her third Guiding Eyes dog. Kari found the
family atmosphere, accommodations and quality of training at the school are more
than she could have ever hoped for. Kari, attended technical school and earned
her certification in customer service support. She is a mother to one daughter
and a grandmother of a year-old grandson. Kari loves life and everything it has
to offer.
Kari enjoys communicating with long-distance friends through the internet
(there is not much social opportunity in her sparsely populated town). She
instinctively feels that she and Olson understand each other very well and that
he will be a great help as she moves about her community. How does Kari feel
about Guiding Eyes for the Blind? “I wouldn’t keep coming back if I didn’t
feel it is the best school in the world.”
