Government is committed to the continued development of people living with disabilities, so said Prime Minister Mark Phillips in honour of World Braille Day as he assured members of the Guyana Society for the Blind of government’s proactive agenda, during a meeting on Thursday afternoon at his office.

To encourage the use of Braille, as a foundation for communication among the visually challenged, the Prime Minister committed to donate, through the Office of the Prime Minister, two Braille writing machines to the Society.
