2023 World Braille Day
World Braille Day on January 4 is celebrated to honor the birth of Braille’s inventor, Louis Braille. Braille’s gift to the world has brightened the lives of millions of people around the world who are blind or visually impaired, and they benefit from his work every day. The day also acknowledges that those with visual impairments deserve the same standard of human rights as everyone else.
It is our greatest pride and joy to share of iC2’s recent feature on BBC World News for World Braille Day on 4 January 2023. The 2-minute segment aired on BBC World News and featured Lee Lay Hong, one of our vision teachers, as she elaborated on the significance of our work in the visually impaired community here in Singapore.
