We were pleased to have Mr Bjorn Lofstedt the founder and owner of the Swedish company Index Braille come to visit us with Anna Lau, MD of Index Braille Technology Sys M Sdn Bhd

Alhamdulillah Mr Lofstedt told us he is pleased with our work and by how efficient and productive Alfitrah foundation is.

We are currently using 3 Everest V4 embossers , seen in the background which are from Index Braille

Anna Lau also taught Firdaus how to print using Direct braille, bypassing the use of Duxbury software, which will make production of braille books quicker, inshaa Allah.

A visit to the library for the blind in Kazakhstan.

This morning Alfitrah Foundation was blessed with a visit from Shaykh Mohammed Aslam the scholar and teacher from Birmingham, UK.

Dias arrived at Semey after a 4 hour flight from Aktau. His hometown does not have a school for the blind so he has never learned to read.

Alhamdulillah after one week under the guidance of Askar Sakhirov, Dias who is 9 years old , has learned surah al Fatihah, Al Ihlas, Al Kausar , Al Falak and arab braille alphabet.

"He is leaning this alfabed first time, before he couldn't read books in kazak or russia, but we are our best... we hope til our course and he will read Quran InshaAllah"
