 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.

 

A group of nine adults standing and posing for a photo outdoors in front of a building entrance. One man is sitting in a wheelchair at the center, while the others are standing around him. All are wearing face masks and ID badges on lanyards, suggesting a professional or institutional setting. The group includes both men and women, dressed in business casual or formal attire. There is a sign with text in a non-English script to the left and some plants flanking both sides of the building’s entrance. The scene is brightly lit by sunlight.

A group of people sitting in a meeting room. The room has light blue walls, a red floor, violet curtains, and a ceiling with two white ceiling fans. There is a long rectangular table near the left side, with four women sitting at it. The rest of the people, both women and men, are sitting on chairs arranged around the edges of the room. Everyone is wearing face masks, and some are dressed in brightly colored traditional clothing. The people appear to be engaged in a serious discussion or meeting. There are water bottles and papers on the table.

A person in a blue wheelchair is measuring the width of a tiled pathway using a yellow tape measure. The person is wearing black pants, a light-colored long-sleeve shirt, a face mask, and black sneakers. The floor consists of both dark brown and light-colored tiles. There is a step in the area where the person is measuring, and some green foliage is visible in the background.

This image shows a group of people outdoors, likely in a courtyard or near an office building in a tropical setting. The scene appears to be an official inspection or a demonstration of social distancing measures. ​Key Elements of the Photo: ​The Main Activity: In the foreground, a man in a blue shirt and brown trousers is bending over, using a yellow measuring tape to measure a distance on the ground. ​The Observers: A woman in a bright pink dress stands nearby, watching him. Several other people are standing in the background, including a man taking a photo of the process with his smartphone. ​Safety Measures: Most people in the image are wearing face masks, suggesting this was taken during the COVID-19 pandemic. Some are also wearing official-looking ID badges. ​The Setting: The ground is paved with interlocking bricks. There are lush green trees in the background, a power transformer on a pole, and a white building to the right. ​The overall atmosphere suggests an organized, official activity where specific distances are being verified.
