Avery McLain is seven years old. She participated in the National Federation of the Blind of Texas BOLD on the weekend of March 24-26, 2023. Since she is a child, I am posting my social media testimonial on her behalf. My family wholeheartedly recommends this program to the Bolotin Award Committee. Here is my post to the Parents of Visually Impaired Children Facebook Group. Amanda McLain There aren't enough words to describe how incredible this event was for us and our daughter this past weekend. The National Federation for the Blind and their BOLD team held a camping experience out in Luling, TX, and Oh, what a weekend! Before now, she had never met another blind person, child, or adult. To not only see her be around other people where she didn't feel "different" but also to watch blind adults lead and encourage her was so amazing. This weekend also showed my husband and I a lot of what we could improve on, and honestly, I could have stayed for days learning from everyone there. Thank you to the NFB for this chance, and we will be at so many more of these events! Tent building, Kaying, Fire Theory, Hiking and Friends ??
