Here are some: 1. **accessnow.com** - It provides information and resources related to accessibility for people with disabilities. 2. **bemyeyes.com** - It is a website and mobile application that aims to connect blind or visually impaired with sighted volunteers through video calls. ### Mr. Ahmed ElBasha Mob.: 01153233911
