You can live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.

 

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams.

All About Braille

A new Zoom meeting hosted by the NFB of Hawaii Braille Division. This is a
time when anyone and everyone can come and ask their questions about
braille. Should I learn it? What are the benefits of knowing braille?
Questions about specific contractions or other braille UEB signs. How is UEB
different from the old braille code? How to increase my reading speed if I
already read 200 words a minute?  Where to go to learn braille during a
pandemic? How do fluent braille readers actually read braille?  This is a
meeting for adults and children or adults working with children, for sighted
and blind people, for anyone with any interest in braille. Braille is not a
dying format. It is  an important way of transmitting and receiving
information, especially in today's  electronic society. 

 

So please join us on the first Saturday of each month beginning May 1, 2021,
from 12 noon to 1 pm Hawaii Time, on zoom.  If you cannot get on zoom,
please let us know.  we will be happy to call you into the meeting. This is
a simple way to get on zoom using your land line phone or any other phone.
