One of the most important jobs for us is making connections with persons who have and live with Albinism.   There are a variety of common practical every day things to be considered and many interesting experiences or insights to share.  We can all learn from one and other.   Please let us have your thoughts and experiences regarding the following :-     

•  Eye sight and economic vision
•  Skin care and protection
•  Socialisation and mobility
•  Education and Vocation
•  Home and family life
