Happy World Braille Day! On January 4th, we honor the brilliance of Louis Braille and the incredible impact his invention has had on the lives of visually impaired individuals around the world. Braille empowers millions of people with visual impairments to read, write, and access information independently. It's not just a code; it's a lifeline that opens doors to education, employment, and a world of possibilities. On this day, it is important to discuss the ongoing development in the field of accessibility and independence. We would like to remind everyone that learning Braille is now easily achievable through the Easy Braille program developed by the 4Blind team. By completing the program, you will be able to read in Braille in just 40 minutes! Here you can complete the program for free and contribute to the spread of Braille: www.easybraille.org [Image description: A banner with Braille on a light gray background.
