Thanks for watching my first upload for the project “Renaissance Man: A 9-Month Rebirth”, where I attempt to master 20 different subjects in 40 weeks, changing subjects every 2 weeks. My first unit is on visual braille, and I’ve created a few fonts for my own use in improving my reading speed. In the first half of today’s episode, I briefly introduce you to the project, giving some background about the first unit and showing you how I changed my browser font to display visual braille.

PODGORICA, Montenegro, 06 January 2010 On the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), UNICEF Regional Director for CEE/CIS Steven Allen, together with the Minister of Education Sreten Skuletic and Minister of Labour and Social Welfare Suad Numanovic, gave blind and visually impaired children in Podgorica copies of the Convention printed in the Braille alphabet.
I am delighted to be here today and to give you the first copies of the Convention in the Braille alphabet. I hope it will stimulate you and create an environment where you can fully enjoy your rights and significantly contribute to Montenegros development, said Mr. Allen, while greeting children in the Institute for Education and Professional Rehabilitation of Children with Disabilities.
This is one of the best days of my life, said Nikola Zekic, one of the students, after receiving his copy.

Dramatizes the life of Louis Braille, including the events that caused him to become blind as well as the cause of his death in 1852 at the age of 43 of tuberculosis. Illustrates the development of the Braille System, which he created in 1824 at the age of 15, and how it was at first rejected and even banned at the Royal Institute for Blind Youth (where Braille attended as a child and was later employed as a teacher).
