braille campaign

The campaign aims for children to have the right to learn braille. Many children with significant sight loss are losing out because teachers think they do not need to learn braille. We want our children to become fully literate and employable and believe braille is the only way for a child with very limited vision. There is even talk of not teaching braille to children who are totally blind and just relying on speech operated technology.
