<br>
The Braille Enrichment for Literacy and Learning (BELL) Program is an
intense two-week program that introduces children to Braille through
engaging activities. The NFB BELL Program has expanded exponentially in
the past 3 years. In 2008 it started in Maryland, and then grew to
include Georgia in 2009, when it was adopted by the NFB Jernigan
Institute. In 2010 it tripled with six sites in five states and almost
doubled in 2011 to eleven sites in seven states! In 2012, BELL is going
to keep getting bigger and better. Will your state be one of the new
program sites?<br>
<br>
