One student is planning to write her memoirs using Braille.
“I'm a university graduate,” Rahel Rauf said. “I've graduated from the Arabic Language department. Braille is very good for people with special needs. We've benefited greatly from it. I hope this Braille could be used in many more places, in malls, and public spaces, for people like us with special needs to make use of.”
