Blind people are taught to read Koran under Braille system

In September in Grozny, the Republic's Library for Blind Persons will start training courses for studying the Koran on the basis of the Braille relief-dot alphabet.

The press-service of the Republic's President and Government reports that the news courses in Grozny will allow vision invalids and sight-impaired persons to master Arabian alphabet and start reading the Koran.

The first group of blind persons from Chechnya has already passed training under this system in Kazan, and now is ready to teach their compatriots. 20 interested persons have already expressed their desire to participate.

Earlier, the "Caucasian Knot" informed also about special programmes for blind people in the Stavropol Territory. In the end of last year, the Gorky Pyatigorsk Central Library opened the first in the Territory specialized computer hall for sight-impaired persons. The visitors of the hall are, basically, the students, who have lost sight during their military service in "hot points" of Northern Caucasus.
