This week on Helping Hand we’re learning about the Hawai‘i Association of the Blind 49th Annual Convention Saturday March 12th at the Pagoda Hotel in Honolulu. They are the local affiliate of the American Council of the Blind. Hawai‘i Association of the Blind board member Landa Phelan speaks with HPR All Things Considered Host Dave Lawrence.
Helping Hand appears weekly on HPR1 stations and then online here. Each Friday afternoon, Helping Hand puts the spotlight on an organization, topic or event in the community that offers assistance to the disabled and other folks in need as part of the afternoon drive statewide broadcast of NPR’s All Things Considered.
