"Miracle in Marrakesh." Benetech (and Bookshare) founder Jim Fruchterman
was there from the original drafting committee effort to the command
celebratory performance by Stevie Wonder for the delegates. Hear how it
came about, and what it will mean for global access to educational and
cultural content for people with print disabilities.
Jim Fruchterman has dedicated his time and considerable know-how and skills
to several projects over a couple decades which have been instrumental in
providing significantly increased access for people with so-called print
disabilities

Helen Keller wrote, "Many persons have the wrong idea about what
constitutes true happiness. It is not attained through self-gratification,
but through fidelity to a worthy purpose." Jesus said, "The Son of Man did
not come to be served, but to serve" (Mk 10:45 NKJV).
