Efc releases braille and large print pocket calendars for 2022

 It is the time of the year when many look for calendars for the newly dawned year, either for personal use or as a gift. Visually impaired and low-vision people can now find a readable calendar of their own. The Employers’ Federation of Ceylon Specialised Training & #Disability Resource Centre offers free pocket Braille and large print calendars every year.

“It is very important for vision impaired persons to expand their Braille-reading skills. The only method to evaluate the literacy rate of vision impaired persons is Braille.  “Literacy is so important. There are talking devices, but there is nothing quite like the written word. It is so important for blind children and adults to learn to read, just as it is important for sighted people to read. EFC Braille calendars are an absolute must for any blind adult or child on the go. They are fast, easy to use, efficient and a real necessity today.

The EFC Specialised Training & Disability Resource Centre for Persons with Disabilities removes barriers, creates solutions and expands possibilities, so that the visually-impaired can achieve their full potential.

The Braille calendars are distributed free among EFC trainees and other vision impaired persons in all corners of the country.

 

Two people standing indoors, both holding a certificate together. The woman on the left has long dark hair and is wearing a brown dress with large pink and orange flowers, along with black sandals. She is smiling. The man on the right has short dark hair, glasses, and a trimmed beard. He is wearing a light blue shirt, dark pants, and black shoes. Behind them is an office setting with glass panels, informational posters, and photographs on the walls, some showing people and one featuring a wheelchair user. The environment looks clean and professional.
