Subject: [blind-catholics] Bible in Maltese Braille.
> Dear listers,
>
> I would like to share something with you for your prayer consideration.
Since 2004 I have been involved in a project
> which saw it's first fruit during Bible week last November. Fr. Paul
Sciberras and I have been proof reading books in
> Maltese Braille which contain some of the new testament. Fr. Paul is a
Bible scholar and knows nothing about Braille
> but he can read the printed version and I make the necessary observations
and comments which render the Braille copy
> a true copy of the ink print version.
>
> Since the first books came out in late November we have another volunteer
Bridget Micallef who is also an avid Braille
> reader and offered her services to the Malta Bible Society to help in the
project. Unfortunately, the majority of the local
> blind population does not read Braille neither in Maltese nor English. so
the way to bring the word of God to the visually
> impaired is through audio either cassettes or cd's. I have suggested this
rout and hopefully the audio version of the Holy
> Scriptures will soon be on the shelves for distribution to visually
impaired and others who for some reason or another
> cannot read the printed word.
