Dear Charlie,

I'm sending this to you privately as well, because I'm not sure if 
you are on the EChurch list yet.

Someone forwarded your message to the EChurch list. It was a great 
project that you were working on and it's unfortunate that the 
majority of the blind people in Malta don't read braille.

Just so you know that the Bible is available in several different 
translations is already available here in the USA in audio cassette 
or audio CD.

Hope this helps.

Love and Blessings,
Pat Ferguson
