Today, we recognize the importance of Braille in empowering blind and visually impaired people worldwide. Braille is more than just a system of raised dots—it’s a gateway to education, independence, and equal rights.

In times like the COVID-19 pandemic, accessible information in Braille and audio formats is vital to ensure no one is left behind. Let’s raise awareness about the need for inclusive communication tools and digital accessibility for all.

Every person deserves the right to read, learn, express themselves, and participate fully in society.

While in hospital, I’ve seen how small things make a big difference. One staff member brings water (used to flush my NG tube) & always asks where to place it and which way the handle faces — I never asked. Just pure thoughtfulness. ❤️ #BlindAwareness #PatientCare #HospitalLife
