I serve as president of the National Federation of the Blind of Texas. I am proud to report that during the week of June 17-21, 2019, we held our first annual Braille Enrichment for Literacy & Learning Academy in the Alvin area. We have hosted this program in other cities around the state since 2010, but this is our first opportunity to serve the community where we are headquartered. We look forward to future academies in the area because there is a need to serve blind children in both our local community and the state.
