[blindkid] Spanish Braille books for kids

[b&s]

If this is the case, please contact me at my email offlist. As for the situation in Mexico, I really don't know. Economically, Mexico is a much richer nation than Honduras, though that doesn't necessarily trickle down to the education of blind kids. Perhaps Gerardo C. could shed some light on the topic.

She said she was a teacher there and had just started teaching a blind girl of about age 7, and asked me if I knew how she could get ahold of a Perkins Brailler. It was my impression that she was a regular classroom teacher who was willing to do what ever it took to be an effective teacher to her student, even though she had no skills or many resources. I'm not sure if I could find those old emails but could you deliver a Perkins Brailler if you knew someone who needed one? And do you know what is the situation with blind education in Mexico?
