After navigating an education system in Ethiopia without access to resources for people with blindness, Vancouver resident Abby Griffith wanted change. Not just for herself, but for students worldwide

Abby Griffith leaves her house at 5 a.m. and walks for 12 minutes, tapping her way down cracked sidewalks to the nearest bus station. Then she navigates two transfers, taking three buses to reach the WSU Vancouver campus for morning classes.
What would be a 15-minute drive takes her more than two hours.
“I’m totally blind, and I rely on public transportation,” said Griffith, who graduated from WSU this month with a degree in human development. “Without it, I wouldn’t be able to go very far from my house or go to college. Public transportation is vital.”
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SAGITTARIUS
(November 22-December 21) I m envisioning a scene in which you re sitting on a chair at a kitchen table. At the centre of the table is a white vase holding 18 long-stemmed red roses. The rest of the table s surface is filled with piles of money, which you have just unloaded from five mysterious suitcases you found at your front door. All of that cash is yours, having been given to you no-strings-attached by an anonymous donor. You re in joyful shock as you contemplate the implications of this miraculous gift. Your imagination floods with fantasies about how different your life can become. Now, Sagittarius, I invite you to dream up at least three further wonderfully positive fantasies involving good financial luck. That s the medicine you need right now.
