Let's help blind children refugees from Ukraine

Dear friends!

We are grateful for the support of our book printing project using the principles of universal design for blind children in Ukraine for several years.

It is important that there are people who support our initiative to make books accessible to all.

We want blind children in Ukraine to be able to read not just interesting, modern books on content. But we want these books to be beautifully and clearly designed. So that in these books drawings are accessible for blind children. We want blind teens to read important information for them about growing up, about relationships, love on their own.

It is important for us that blind students who study according to the inclusion system have the same textbooks that their classmates study, but adapted for them in braille with a dotted font.

During the reporting period, we initiated a new series of books by contemporary Ukrainian and foreign writers “Stars on the palms”.

The first in this series was the book by the wonderful Ukrainian writer Irina Matsko, “The Tale of Tales”. Irina Matsko - writer, publicist, publisher, illustrator of children's publications, compiler of anthology and prescriptions for preschoolers, author of short stories, life short stories, essays, children's tales.

The series of books was continued by a collection of fairy tales by Ukrainian and foreign writers “Winter brought snowflakes on the palms of your hands”. The book includes works by 9 authors about winter, winter holidays, fun adventures.

The adaptation and printing of books on sexual education for children, adolescents and parents has become very important in our work. The books “A frank conversation“ ABOUT IT ”(the first textbook on sexual education for children),“ Teenagers about the important are simple and accessible ”and“ The Big Book of Feelings ”were received with great interest by our readers. These are the first books on sexual development and upbringing adapted for blind children and printed in braille in Ukraine.

In addition, we printed booklets in braille "Show care and discretion", "Your life is your choice." In life, you constantly have to make a choice. How not to make a mistake? How to make the right decision? Today depends on decisions today. Blind adolescents will receive reliable information about healthy lifestyles and how to avoid bad habits from booklets.

For parents of blind children, we have published a Handbook on Sex Education, which describes the characteristics of the sexual development of blind children and gives recommendations on education and preparation for adulthood.

Thank you so much for your support!
