Talking Vision 649 Week Beginning 31st of October 2022

It's Stella filling in for Sam this week as he is up in Cairns for the Community Broadcasting Association of Australia awards, but you will hear from Sam as he catches up with a recent Holman Prize Winner. Her name is Abby Holmes, originally from Ethiopia she was one of the 3 recipients of the $25,000 prize to provide her community in her home town of Wolayta with vital braille and adaptive technology resources. Before that though, Stella catches up with Member for Higgins Dr Michelle Ananda-Rajah, who recently visited Vision Australia to hold discussions on how the government can best support people who are blind or have low vision. And finally this week, the Vision Australia Annual General Meeting recently took place and you'll hear from a very familiar voice who Stella had the pleasure to speak with her after she received a Vision Australia award for her lifelong contribution to the community.Support this Vision Australia Radio program: https://www.visionaustralia.org/donate?src=radio&type=0&_ga=2.182040610.46191917.1644183916-1718358749.1627963141See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
