Title: Braille (Thai)
Post by: dimple joe on September 28, 2010, 08:56:14 PM

I'm in need of Thai books in Braille.

Any subject any age.

They are for a blind 13 year old girl who has been abused.

She is very bright and avidly soaks up information from these books but has exhausted the supply in the local education service.

Any "talking books" again in Thai would also be much appreciated.

If you know where I can buy such things please let me know.

Thanks
