held on the Braille Enrichment in Literacy and Learning (Bell) program.
The BELL is a 2 week long program held in July 11-22, 2016 for children
4-11. Who are blind or visually impaired. In this 2 week program
such skills as braille, mobility and other blindness skills will be introduced
to the children. The children will also be exposed to independent and

are interested in volunteering for some or all of the program please contact
Emily Schlenker at (316) 644-4227 or <A
