Alhamdulillah we had a busy month at Al-Fitrah Foundation training teachers from Al-Basiir School for the Blind ,Somalia as well as Askar from Kazakhstan and Abul Quasem Syed of the Zohra School in West Bengal.

Al-Fitrah Foundation started producing English translations of the Quran last year, starting with Surah Yasin , and then the complete Juz 30. This week we completed the braille version of the English translation of the Holy Quran in full. This runs into 6 volumes , and is available now, Alhamdulillah.

Today is the last day of training for the teachers of Al-Basiir school for the blind and Deaf-blind from Mogadishu.

We have a refreshable braille display keyboard at our office which is very useful for editing our braille Quran and other books, however the cost makes it out of reach for individuals who could otherwise use it to read information from the internet on the computer.
