RE: Yes Pioneer Printers also does - RE: [cbtbc: 195] Braille maps and diagrams

[Elza-Lynne Kruger]

Yes Greg, Pioneer Printers in Worcester Western Cape, whom you visited with us, certainly would be able to produce braille maps and diagrams. However they appear to have an enormous backlog on educational books for SA Schools which is why I suggested Blind SA.
Jace Nair (ex-president of the African Union for the Blind - AFUB) is now the CEO of BlindSA (he was the National Executive Director of the South African Council for the Blind). He would have good links with Nigeria. Also, I believe that Cathy Donaldson, who is Chairperson of SA Blind is now vice President of AFUB. Remember Christo de Klerk whom you also met on your trip to South Africa when we visited his home, he is vice-chair of SA Blind and heads up their Education Committee and is very active on other Disability Rights Education committees.

Kindest
Elza-lynne

Would Pioneer Printers in South Africa also produce this kind of thing?

Yes Christo de Klerk and I have been in touch as I have been working on getting Afrikaans language support into KNFB Reader software for IOS and Android, finally finished I had to push really hard to get it in.

Now I'm working on getting Afrikaans supported as a language in MacOS with VoiceOver support as well.
