Volunteers Handcraft Braille Storybooks for Devnar School Students

Volunteers Handcraft Braille Storybooks for Devnar School Students
Braille Storybooks Crafted for Devnar Students · deccanchronicle.com

Some grown-ups made very special storybooks for children who cannot see.

The books are written in Braille, which is a way of reading using your fingers.

They also have pictures you can feel, made with raised shapes and different textures.

Seven of these books were made for students at Devnar School for the Blind.

The books were created by people who work at a company called InvoiceCloud in Hyderabad.

They spent 65 hours making the books together with a group called SoulAce.

These books help kids read by themselves and also read together with friends, parents, and teachers.

The principal of the school said the students do not need sympathy—they need the same stories and learning every child gets.

The books are meant to make storytelling more inclusive and improve classroom participation.
