January 4 marks a special day in the world of blindness. It is the birthday of Louis Braille, educator and inventor of a system of reading and writing for use by people who are blind or low vision, known worldwide as Braille.
Thus, today is celebrated as #WorldBrailleDay, to raise awareness of the importance of Braille as a means of communication in the full realization of the human rights for blind and partially sighted people.
