Efc releases braille and large print pocket calendars for 2023

 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.

The woman on the left is wearing a light beige top and an orange and white patterned skirt, while the woman on the right is dressed in a multi-colored floral dress with a black border. They are both holding what appears to be a document or certificate together, suggesting a presentation or handover. Behind them, there is a modern office setting with some documents and photos displayed on the wall to the right. The overall impression is of a formal or semi-formal occasion, possibly an award or donation being given."

Two people standing in an office. The man on the left, dressed in a white shirt and dark trousers, and the woman on the right, wearing a grey blouse and dark pants, are both holding a certificate or a piece of paper together, facing the camera. Behind them is a large wooden desk with office supplies and chairs around it. The office has wooden floors, white walls, and some paperwork stacked on a smaller desk and shelf. Light streams in through a window with a bamboo blind, and a painting hangs on the wall. The atmosphere appears formal and professional.

The man on the right is wearing a light blue button-up shirt, black trousers, and black shoes, with glasses and a pen in his shirt pocket. They're standing in front of a counter with glass panels. Behind them, there are large printed posters and photographs displayed on the walls, including an image of a person in a wheelchair. The setting appears to be an office or a formal institution. The woman is smiling, and the event looks like a certificate presentation or award ceremony.
