[NOBE-L] braille slates and stylers

[Albert Rizzi]

Robert,

I have a brailler/typewriter that I am not using, and doubt I ever will.

If it would be of use to this cause please let me know and we can have it shipped. Peace and to be continued...

SAlbert

Hi all,

Kindly allow me to put in a request for braille slates and stylers or any other blindness related resources just in case you have them and you do not use them. This is on behalf of my blind brother Mark Sabwami who has set up a project in western Kenya following his social entrepreneurship training in India. He wants to provide training and support in nonvisual skills including braille and assistive technology. Most of the blind and visually folks in this region have, for decades, been cut off from learning and employment opportunities due to lack of information and resources. Some are literally hidden in their homes for years with no hope for a dignified life. Mark just got started with his first cohort of four students.

You can see his graduation speech during his 2019 graduation ceremony while in India:

Thank you!
