Australia donates braille books

BANDUNG, West Java: The Australian government donated 2,400
braille books on Wednesday for distribution to special schools
for the blind across the country.

The donation was handed over to school representatives during
a ceremony held on Wednesday at the Wyata Guna Residence, which
houses blind people in Bandung. The ceremony was attended by
executives from four schools for the blind across the country.

Sri Sudarsono, who chairs the Wyata Guna Foundation, said it
was the first time that blind students had been given aid in the
form of braille books containing English lessons. Indonesia has
some 250 schools for blind people, ranging from elementary to
senior high schools. -- JP
