They now hold prestigious positions in society.
Thank you for your interest for Seedling Braille Books for our Children. Every 10 dollar we receive will make another braille book for students. The total raised amount is $1353. This sum help us to subsidize the high costs books at feasible cost, keeping books affordable for student will contribute the braille literacy.
We would like to give you an assurance that your donation for providing Braille books will be carefully and properly administered. The uphill struggle that your gift represents will be matched with our own dedication to help our kids, and thanks to our combined efforts, many blind children will be blessed with books to read! We deeply appreciate your willingness to share the gift of literacy with these precious children! This will eventually increase the interest towards studies owning individual copies of their text books and provides them an opportunity of studying at their own pace.
