🌟World Braille Day – Celebrating Accessibility and Inclusion
January 4, 2025, marks World Braille Day, a global observance celebrating the birth of Louis Braille, the inventor of the Braille system.

Why It Matters 🌍
World Braille Day is a reminder of the importance of accessibility and the ongoing need to create inclusive environments for people with disabilities. In workplaces and communities, it’s an opportunity to advocate for equal opportunities and promote understanding of the challenges faced by individuals with visual impairments.
Recognizing this day fosters empathy, innovation, and a commitment to building spaces that empower everyone.
