Hi Deja, The same principles still apply! The environment may change however, the basic Cane techniques remain the same! Have fun!

I am leaving on a humanitarian trip to Barbados (in the Caribbean) later this week, where I will be teaching cane travel to a group of blind adults for a week (I know, it's a hard life). I wanted to get some advice from those of you who have traveled abroad, or even to an unfamiliar ares, where you were asked to teach cane travel. I will only have one day to prep myself to teach and am hoping some of you could give me some general advice on how to teach in an area you have not had any time getting to adjust to. I'll be thinking of you all while I'm soaking in the sun and the beach in December. You're welcome! Thanks, Deja Powell Deja M.
