Eliminating computer illiteracy -one Dolphin Pen at a time...

Isn’t it great to see such a broad smile on someone’s face? Jimmy Baloyi’s smiling because he’s just received a wonderful gift from Council: a Dolphin Pen. If you click here now, you can help put more smiles on more faces!

You see, the Dolphin Pen has the special ability to open up the world of computers, of independence and employability to visually impaired people. When it’s plugged into a computer, the Pen can enlarge text on the screen or it can read text back to the blind user in a synthesised voice. Please will you click here now, to help buy more of these amazing pens for more visually impaired people?

Without the kindness of donors like you, we wouldn’t have been able to give Jimmy a Dolphin Pen of his own. It’s a gift that keeps on giving, because Jimmy, a computer literacy tutor himself, will use his pen – and the computer training he received at Optima College – to teach more visually impaired people how to use a computer.

So click here now and let’s eradicate computer illiteracy in the visually impaired community, one Dolphin Pen at a time!
