Hi Rahul, A great Idea and I am sure many would benefit. Whilst I feel its kinda too late for me now (have sort of given up that's OT though) something like what you invision could have helped me loads when planning to study abroad. Knowing about what's out there, be it the scholarships (only fees, fully funded etc) to Life out there, things to prepare for or with, what sort of exams to be prepping for and when is information that can be the difference between making it or not making it. I will forward this to the other person I know who has gone to study abroad (blind/ visually impaired anyway) and hopefully she's able to be of help with this. Cheers and best of luck on your project, and I personally will look forward to what you guys come up with,
