[Ct-nfb] Perkins Braillers

Wed Jun 26 09:19:50 UTC 2013

Good morning folks;

Hey I didn't read this whole chain of messages, but if you're looking to get rid of a perkins braille writer, I would love to have one, yes it's true I'm not a braille reader, but I have tried to teach myself on several occasions, and would welcome the chance to work with one for practice perposes.

His email is in my first email. Feel free to chat with him about it. If he decides to go that route, we have quite a lot of them here in the office that we could part with some of them.

Right.  Slates and styli are also for school children learning Braille.  He’ll have a lot more success with those than with Perkins Braillers.

He has not mentioned slates and styli. If I'm remembering our initial conversation correctly, these would be for school kids learning Braille.

Has he mentioned anything about slates and styli?  They are much less expensive and much more portable than Perkins Braillers.

Subject: [Ct-nfb] Perkins Braillers

Hi all,

Father Edward, who is from Terryville, has been in touch with our community outreach office. He goes to Peru on mission trips occasionally, and has met a fair number of blind people there who do not have access to the resources that we have here. He will be going back soon, and would love to be able to take some Perkins Braillers with him. If anyone has one in working order that they do not use and would be willing to donate to his cause, please contact him at fr.ed at hotmail.com. 

Thanks,

Lucia Lee
