A teacher leans over a desk to help two blindfolded girls using braille machines in a classroom. Several other blindfolded children are also seated at desks, focused on their own braille machines.
We envision a Cuba where blind and/or low-vision individuals have access to the tools that they need to fully participate and thrive in every educational, employment and life setting.
