TO GO WITH AFP STORY BY Anna MALPAS Alex

TO GO WITH AFP STORY BY Anna MALPAS Alexei Romanov, deputy director of a hi-tech call centre and himself blind, speaks to an AFP reporter in Moscow on January 14, 2010. Once encouraged to take dreary factory-line jobs making electric plugs and curlers, blind people in Moscow now have a new option: working at a hi-tech call centre. The call centre in northern Moscow employs almost 1,000 blind and visually impaired people, a bold experiment in a nation where people with disabilities struggle to find interesting jobs -- or indeed any job at all.
