I'm glad to be part of @BeMyEyes, I have also taken quite numbers of calls ranging across outfit color, money selection, household repairs, items and lots more. Do I enjoy doing this? YES!
Weldone @lohwis it's was sweet reading about your experience
I’ve had the “Be my eyes” App for sometime now. It’s for visually impaired people. I’ve taken only one call where I helped an old man find his cane.
What are the odds that yesterday, I picked a call from a teacher in Gombe all the way in Canada as his fellow country woman. Mind you, you can’t see their details but once I picked the call, the accent??? I’m like this is definitely Nigerian.
He gives me the brief that he’s a teacher, he needs my help to see if the students are complying, people at the window etc. So the class was majorly in English but when anyone was misbehaving, he spoke Hausa.
The students were five and it was a civics class. It made my day because as a Nigerian I’m like, our people are truly the same.
You know you’re visually impaired, you’ll carry your phone to where students outside the class are disturbing that I should direct you to who is laughing; oga they can mob you, go back to your class let’s handle your five students 😂
I was such a report card yesterday.
Him: Madam, have they submitted their papers? who is laughing? Is anyone telling him the answer?
Me: “Yes, go left, that one- he’s laughing” 😂😂. “There’s someone at the window oo”, “The person presenting is asking other people”.
Hearing words like- “loud your voice”, “if you don’t say it out, you will enter suffer” made me smile so much.
He had no idea I was all the way in Canada or even Nigerian. It was towards the end I asked where he was and he said Gombe.
Super happy I could contribute to his confidence yesterday as a teacher. He seemed to absolutely love showing up for these folks and I could see it gave him a sense of purpose as well.
Welldone @BeMyEyes you’re doing a great job💐

Been a volunteer for Indian users - i get like two calls a month or so; it works well in India for Indian languages! Got calls for assistance with forms and directions & it takes a minute or two of your time usually. Spread the word! #BeMyEyes #VisualDisability #AccessToDisabled

Chapter 2 of my newest book Meta Glasses and the Modern Caregiver can be read using the link below, and this summary gives you a clear sense of how it fits into the larger mission of the book.
In Chapter 2, My Journey, I describe how my work in accessibility begins and continues to shape everything I do today. I talk about my early volunteer efforts helping people with disabilities learn to use computers and how that experience grows into my first business serving blind and visually impaired individuals. In 1990, I join the board of Blind Sight, a nonprofit providing training for people who are blind or low vision, and that role becomes a defining moment in my career. Working alongside accomplished blind professionals gives me firsthand insight into the challenges and possibilities of assistive technology, and those lessons still guide my mission today.
I explain how my early discoveries—like the speed advantages of keyboard‑only computing and my concept of Technology Airtime—connect directly to the modern world of AI and smart glasses. My journey evolves into writing books, developing training programs, and dedicating my career to reducing frustration, increasing independence, and helping people reclaim time from technology.
This chapter sits within a 31‑chapter guide that covers everything from Meta’s eyewear families and hardware overviews to setup instructions, voice commands, Be My Eyes integration, factory resets, care tips, and support resources. Together, the table of contents shows that this book is more than my story—it’s a complete, practical roadmap for anyone who wants to use Meta Smart Glasses to simplify daily life, support loved ones, and strengthen modern caregiving.
And because I want this information to be accessible to everyone, the Kindle edition is priced at $2.99, making it easy and affordable for anyone to read.

Guys if you wanna volunteer and you can’t manage to find placement, get an app called be my eyes. You get a random call (you gotta pick up fast or it’ll be assigned to someone else) and you help a blind person with tasks. No number, no personal details required. Just help.
