Overview

What is Braille Buddies?

Braille Buddies is a nonprofit organization in which visually impaired students in India connect with others around the world. These students will write letters to one another, acting as "pen-pals."

Background

Why start Braille Buddies?

Over the last several years, I have been fortunate enough to have the opportunity to volunteer at a school for the visually impaired in India. I am able to teach the students dances, read them novels, and just talk to every girl as a friend. I visit the school annually to spend time with every class; however, this year I felt truly motivated to take action. Being able to interact with these girls was truly a powerful experience, and I am hoping to share this feeling with blind students in the United States.
