Josh Goldenberg from Joshua's Project is from Southern California and he is
in the Bay Area, masterminding a new way for blind people to shop at Whole
Foods markets.

Josh was born blind. When he was old enough to go shopping, he couldn't
believe there were no labels on store shelves to help him.

He is the boy behind The Joshua Project, a foundation dedicated to making the
daily lives of the blind a bit easier, like being able to find things in a
store.

Besides new Braille labels in the produce department, Whole Foods also has
these handheld scanners, so that blind shoppers can find what they need on
the shelves. The scanners allow the person to find the item and learn a bit
more about it, if they wish.
