Dear Alexia, I admire what you have achieved so far and the great things you are obviously going to accomplish in the future as well. I would like to ask you a few questions as a short interview via e-mail for a website about education for children with a vision impairment in Australia. Ain’t it nice how your news reaches us even here! Hope you will drop me a line because I think your story will be very inspiring to other children who are blind, and their teachers.
Wish you all the best,
Phia
Dear Mr. Sloane,
First, congratulations on Alexia’s notable achievements!
My name is Betsy, an editor of Commonwealth Publishing, from Taiwan. We would like to write about Alexia’s story in the news section of Global Kids Monthly, a Mandarin children magazine.
We would also like a photo of Alexia to go with the story. Would you mind to kindly send me some photos of Alexia, preferably with tools relevant to her achievements? (i.e. with language learning tool sets, etc)
We will mail you an issue of the published magazine once it’s out in June. As for the photos and mailing address, please simply send to my e-mail address.
Thanks, and congrats to Alexia’s braveness again!

Dear Betsy,
I am Alexia’s mum and I am sorry for not replying to you sooner. I know it is a few months now since you wrote here but I was wondering if you might still be interested in writing something about Alexia. Please let us know.
Thanks

Dear The Sloane Family,
We here from Korea have been really inspired and impressed by Alexia’s story. I’m a producer for Korean Television, KBS (Korean Broadcasting System) and we are very keen to show Alexia’s story to our viewers in Korea. We are here in the UK from next week to meet with individuals with disabilities to capture and take back their inspiring stories. Our programme is a daily 30 minute programme specifically dealing with stories of individuals with disabilities.
Would love to get in touch to see whether Alexia and the family would be interested to participate. I sincerely believe that Alexia’s story is perfect to inspire viewers in Korea.
My name is Min-Jae Kim, I can reached on 07960281790 or kbneuk@googlemail.com

Hi Alexia, I am a poetry tutor in Calderdale West Yorkshire and next week I will be showing your braille poem to my class of over 50 creative writing students. It will be interesting to see 1) what they make of it and 2) what work they produce. Winston Plowes
