Based in New York, the Committee for the Blind of Poland has connected the Polish-American community to the blind and disabled of Poland. Born nearly 75 years ago in the post-war effort to rebuild the Laski School for the Blind, our Committee has grown into one of the oldest and most active Polish-American charities.
