Bus 52 – Planet of the Blind

Amy Wallace forwarded this note to me and I’m glad she did. Take a look at what the folks on Bus 52 are up to. (Thanks for sharing, Amy.)

Hello,

My name’s Amy Wallace, I’m part of a nonprofit project called Bus 52. We travel around the country making videos about people who are doing inspiring things for their community.

We made a video about Our Thrift Store in Franklin, Tennessee, which is a nonprofit thrift store that employs people with disabilities and puts back all the profits of the store into employing community members.

I thought you and your readers might enjoy the video we make about it, which can be seen here: http://youtu.be/neF-hekUpKM

Please let me know if you have any questions,

Thanks! Amy
