Seedlings Braille Books for Children’s Rose Project
Free Encyclopedia Articles in Braille
 
We are very pleased to announce that Seedlings' Rose Project received a grant 
from Delta Kappa Gamma which will allow us to continue to provide
Free World Book Encyclopedia articles in braille to blind children grades 1-12.
 
Students from across the United States contact Seedlings via the web, by 
telephone or email and provide the subject(s) or topic(s) of interest for which 
they would like information.  A staff member produces the articles and sends 
them to the student’s home or school, via UPS, free-of-charge within five 
business days.  

 
Every year we have requests from new students and/or students that have recently 
been diagnosed as visually impaired. The Rose Project allows us to continue to 
fill a need in their lives so they can continue to grow and learn and become 
independent and successful individuals.   

 
Seedlings Braille Books for Children is a non-profit, tax-exempt organization 
based in Livonia dedicated to increasing the opportunity for literacy by 
providing high quality children’s literature in braille. For more information on 
the Rose Project, or to request an article, please visit
