It's international braille day! Braille is a fantastic example of innovation. This Braille Embosser by Perkins Products was made in the 1970s and while the original design has changed little over the years, the Perkins School for the Blind continues to manufacture it! https://t.co/MHGNWwLP63
Happy World Braille Day!
On January 4th we celebrate World Braille Day. This is a special day for people who are blind, deafblind, or have low vision around the world, as it is the day that Louise Braille was born in 1809, Coupvray, France.

1/ Happy World Braille Day. On the anniversary of Louis Braille’s birth, I always take time to reflect on the priceless gift of true literacy that he gave blind people.
For nearly 200 years Braille has helped sight-impaired people to communicate, read, cook and maintain their independence. Happy World Braille Day.

World Braille Day seeks to raise awareness about the importance of braille as a means of communication for blind and partially sighted people. Braille is a tactile representation of alphabetic and numerical symbols that uses six dots to represent letters and numbers.
