Faith at their fingertips!
Fatima receives our braille materials in the Diocese of San Diego. She registered with us this year after connecting with us on Facebook. In this video, she explains how the braille materials she has received from us has transformed her faith life.
This #GivingTuesday we are hoping to raise $15,000 to transcribe the New American Bible in UEB (Unified English braille). We hope to raise enough money to make the Word of God available to braille readers throughout the English speaking world. Did you know...the Bible in braille amounts to over 4,400 pages!

Audio drama is so underappreciated, I wish more would listen to these amazing productions. My favorute AIR productions are this one and the Legends of Robyn Hood.

    Another great segment Skylar. (Dr Skylar Covich PHD UCSB) . Skylar you are helping people all over the world with your dedication and focus to help others educate themselves and learn independence. When you started to learn Braille as a 5 year old and during your education you were able to become a master of Braille. I remember when you won an award for the Braille Readers are Leaders testing competition. The braille display on your first computer accelerated your learning. Your life was guided by braille books, labels, other braille markers. As you took courses at Perkins, in Watertown Mass, the lighthouse in New York, and with your special Braille teachers, you learned to excel at education testing. I remember the time when a college test score template was not used properly and you thought you had the lowest score in your school on the college entrance program. Then we found, that you had one of the highest scores in California/USA. What a day that was. Braille was your guiding path to your earning a PHD. As your father, I watched you teach others, you become a leader and now you work for one of the greatest organizations, The braille Institute of America which was of service to you when you were in college at UCSB. I would say to others and parents of young children, follow the road which helped to made Skylar a successful professor, technical expert, husband and Father. Learn Braille, help others to learn Braille and find the organizations such as the Xavier Society for the Blind, the Lighthouse, the Braille Institute and other organizations supporting the vital learning of Braille. Blessings to all who watch this video and read these comments. Blessings to all of the teachers, Family members and friends who helped Skylar through his entire education. There is more help today than ever, Skylar and the people in these amazing organizations who have entrusted Skylar to be on their boards of leadership. Skylar is a testament to the importance of Braille and he will help you understand how important braille will be to your life. Frank Covich Jan 2024 Father of Skylar

    That saying "When the student is ready the teacher will appear" .. I've had this book for years, and I could never seem to get beyond a couple of chapters. Then a few months ago i began reading it in a way of Lectio Divina. it has made all the difference in the world. I''ve been suffering during a "dark night of the soul" for the past couple of weeks, and while I have known WHY .. naturally a person wants to move past it as soon as possible. Invitation to Love has been such an inspiring companion for the journey! While the suffering is not yet past, there is so much more sense of clarity and trusting that all shall be well, and this book has been a very present gift in that process!
