bhc Chicken Haebaragi Volunteer Group Produces Braille and Tactile Books for Visually Impaired Children

[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Hyewon] bhc Chicken announced on the 8th that the 5th term, Team 2 of the ‘Haebaragi Volunteer Group’ collaborated with the social enterprise Damsimpo, located in Gwangjeok-myeon, Yangju-si, Gyeonggi-do, to produce braille tactile books for visually impaired children on the 6th.

The braille tactile book developed by Damsimpo is a hand-sewn playbook with braille and numbers embossed on fabric, allowing users to obtain information through fingertip tactile sensation. The volunteer activity was organized to contribute to tactile development and expand learning opportunities, thereby supporting the social independence of visually impaired children.

On the day, members of the Haebaragi Volunteer Group sewed together fabric consisting of covers and inner pages and strung beads according to the number markings to complete the braille tactile books. Afterwards, the books were delivered to Damsimpo, which will distribute them free of charge to schools for the blind and braille libraries nationwide.

A participating volunteer said, “I heard that there is a shortage of playbooks for visually impaired children, so I joined the volunteer activity to contribute in a small way,” adding, “I hope many people will continue to support so that visually impaired children can communicate smoothly with the world.”

A bhc Chicken official stated, “The activities of this volunteer group are meaningful as they encourage interest in visually impaired children and serve as a way to narrow the cultural gap experienced by children with disabilities,” and added, “bhc Chicken plans to continue various activities with the Haebaragi Volunteer Group to improve the quality of life for marginalized groups, including people with disabilities.”
