Please enter your letter of recommendation in the text area provided below: I cannot speak highly enough about Donna’s Birding By Ear and Beyond program, which I’m proud to share my experience of as part of our submission to the prestigious Dr. Jacob Bolotin Awards sponsored by the National Federation of the Blind. As a blind individual, it has truly opened up a whole new world for me. For years, I’ve enjoyed listening to the birdsongs but lacked the means to understand them fully. Through Donna’s program, I discovered a wealth of resources on my iPhone that not only inform me about the birds around me but also allow me to delve deeper into their world. Donna’s inclusive teaching style has not only empowered me but has also enabled everyone to fully participate in the joy of birding. Donna’s passion for birding is infectious, and her expertise shines through in every aspect of the program. Her dedication to sharing this world with others, regardless of their background, is truly commendable. The program encourages a deeper understanding of nature and our place within it, fostering a connection that is vital for both individuals and our planet as a whole. In today’s digital age, where we are constantly connected online, Donna’s program offers a refreshing return to nature and all it has to offer. It’s a gift that everyone can and should experience. I wholeheartedly encourage anyone interested in birding to participate in Donna’s Birding By Ear program and experience the transformative journey it offers. Who knows, your participation might even contribute to the legacy of this program by garnering recognition from esteemed organizations like the Dr. Jacob Bolotin Awards. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to connect with nature and make a difference!
