<DIV>The bells will be ringing again as the National Federation of the Blind
of
New Jersey (NFBNJ) sponsors its fifth Braille Enrichment through
Literacy
and Learning (BELL)Academy which will be held on weekdays from 9:00 A.M. to
3:00
between July 16 and 27, 2018. at the Puerto Rican
Association
for Human Development located at 101 First Street in Perth Amboy, NJ.
Parents will be required to transport their children to and from the
facility
each day and to provide them with lunch, unless otherwise specified.
There
is no cost or registration fee for children to attend this program.
</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The purpose of the BELL Academy is to provide instruction in Braille
and
Activities of Daily Living (ADL) to children aged four through twelve
who
previously lacked the opportunity or minimal exposure to these key skills
which
will help them in their educational and future development. High
lights of
last year’s program include: working with model trains, building toolboxes,
enjoying hands-on activities at the Turtleback Zoo, building motorized cars
and
helicopters with Legos, playing goalball, and participating in
scientific
experiments pertaining to chemistry and magnetism. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Besides learning their lessons, the children will have a chance to form
friendships with the students in their classroom and will have the
opportunity
to interact with sighted children who attend the PRAHD’s own summer program.
Blind mentors and volunteers will work with the children and provide
excellent role models, keeping expectations high and proving that blindness
is
not the characteristic that define their future. The goal of the BELL
Academy is to enable the children to live the lives they want through upbeat
and
positive attitudes, skills, and experiences provided by BELL staff.
