Dear Mr. Seevanh XAYKIA and Jicafriends
Dear Mr. Seevanh XAYKIA and Jicafriends,
I am very very happy to read the message from Mr. Seevanh XAYKIA.
This is because of my personal reason that he is sincerely taking up my dream.
About 2 weeks ago, I had a chance to visit his IT trainging center and discuss about how to proceed the IT traing for the blind people in Laos.
He is very kind and generous to understand the importance of production of the braille textbooks. The braille text books are, needless to say, absolutely necessary for the blind people to receive education.
I visited the school for the blind in NRC and looked at the braille books at the library. I was really surprised and schocked to see the old braillebooks. Some braille dots in many pages are torn off and useless any more.
I believe that production of braille books can be smoothly carried out bymaking the best use of conputer.
After coming back to Japan, I am really surprised to know that his IT team provide a scholarship for people with visual impaired to training for six month about basic computer and how to connect to
internet. This is, I feel, an epock-making revolution in the blind world in Laos.
I sincerely hope the IT workshop can be carried out successfully.
