H.S. Junior Raises Funds and Awareness for AFB

Meet Poonam Agrawal, 16, a junior at Cypress Ridge High School in Houston, Texas.

At a recent community health fair, Poonam printed out some information from AFB’s website and set up a collection box to encourage donations.

“I’m so glad to advocate for AFB and raise awareness about vision loss and all that AFB does to help people with blindness and low vision,” she said.

Poonam found out about AFB when she was researching Helen Keller, who has been a life-long inspiration. Keller’s forty-year history of working for AFB influenced her choice for fundraising.

Thank you, Poonam! To join her, visit: www.afb.org/donate.
