The Annual Braille Literacy Challenge Friday 8th September
The countdown is well underway to the Annual Braille Literacy Challenge and our team are busy setting up the room! We will update the page with pictures of the final layout later this week.
This much-awaited event represents so much more than a celebration of Braille literacy skills among Queensland students; it’s a testament to the power of respect and inclusion combined with the immense benefits that braille education imparts upon our children within the education system.
Good luck to all the students!
A formal dinner at Government House Queensland
Our Patron, Her Excellency the Honourable Dr Jeannette Young AC PSM, Governor of Queensland recently held a formal dinner at Government House Queensland.
Her Excellency’s team wished to ensure that all dinner guests felt welcomed and engaged Braille House to emboss and provide a braille menu for one of the distinguished guests who is blind.
The response was overwhelming, with the guest stating that receiving a braille menu was a wonderful surprise, adding how much he enjoyed being able to read the menu to his wife for the first time, rather than her reading it to him.
Thoughtful acts, like providing a braille menu, can create a profound and meaningful impact, enriching someone’s life with inclusivity, dignity, and empowerment.
There are many ways all of us can contribute to the lives of those that rely on braille.
To discover how you can foster inclusivity and make a difference by incorporating braille into your services and events please feel free to reach out to us 07 3848 5257 or via email: [email protected]
