> HumanWare is proud to have been part of the 2018 Braille Challenge Finals and congratulates all participants and the Braille Institute for organizing a world class event. The Braille Institute organizes each year a unique academic competition in North America for students who are blind or visually impaired, encouraging every year hundreds of students to fully acquire braille literacy skills.
> 
> “As a first-time observer, it was great to meet such amazing students, their families and the dedicated teachers. This truly demonstrates how determination, braille excellence, and a strong education can remove barriers and allow our students to attain all their goals and ambitions.” – Bruce Miles, President of HumanWare.
> 
> Even with the fast growth of the digital era, HumanWare believes that braille literacy still has an important place in everyday life. We will always encourage students to learn braille in order to progress, succeed and live independently. HumanWare always has and always will support the blind community and educational programs that promote and enhance the use of braille.
> 
> “The Braille Challenge is an event that is extremely meaningful to me as a braille reader. The ability to read and write in braille has played a major role professionally in allowing me to become the Brand ambassador of Blindness Products for HumanWare. It was wonderful to meet teachers, parents, and participants alike who share a passion for braille, as it is these literacy skills that will help to propel the next generation of blind and visually impaired professionals to succeed and actively participate in the workplace, in addition to providing a strong foundation for personal independence.” – Peter Tucic, Brand Ambassador, Blindness Products.
