Street clutter on pavements makes the journey to school more challenging for visually impaired student Hester and her @GuideDogs Pickle. She wants councils and town planners to listen to mobility teams, so pavements are more accessible for all pedestrians. #100Voices

So glad that the children of #mekelle school are able to study in safety again. Thanks to @yetnebersh_mola for shining a light on this issue. I think so fondly of our visit with you. And I am still campaigning for good change. With ❤️

So sad - literally crying - really hungry @OsloAirport and Pickle @guidedogs @gdcampaigns and I have just been turned out of @JamiesItalianDE It is a humiliating and awful way to treat anyone let alone someone who can’t easily navigate to find alternatives alone.
