Braille Literacy through the Braille Enrichment for Literacy and Learning
(BELL) programs<br>
</i></b></div>
<br>
The <a href="http://www.nfb.org/">National Federation of the Blind</a>,
the nation’s leading advocate for Braille literacy, and Groupon
Grassroots, the philanthropic arm of Groupon, are teaming up to bring
Braille into the lives of more blind children who need it. <br>
<br>
The NFB Groupon will be available on
<a href="http://www.groupon.com/baltimore/all">the Groupon page</a>
beginning on July 11, and running through July 18. Groupon
subscribers can pledge support for NFB BELL programs in increments of
$15, with each purchase helping to provide one bag of Braille supplies to
a blind child participating in the BELL program. <br>
<br>
The BELL program is a two-week intensive Braille program for all blind
children. It incorporates learning centers as well as group lessons and
blindness skills. Children participate in recess, explore physical
activities, and prepare their own lunches. At the end of the program,
each child receives a BELL bag that contains a gift certificate for a
Braille book, a slate and stylus, and other items based on each
individual program. Every $15 Groupon purchase will fund a BELL bag!
