A formal dinner at Government House Queensland

 

Our Patron, Her Excellency the Honourable Dr Jeannette Young AC PSM, Governor of Queensland recently held a formal dinner at Government House Queensland.

Her Excellency’s team wished to ensure that all dinner guests felt welcomed and engaged Braille House to emboss and provide a braille menu for one of the distinguished guests who is blind.

The response was overwhelming, with the guest stating that receiving a braille menu was a wonderful surprise, adding how much he enjoyed being able to read the menu to his wife for the first time, rather than her reading it to him.

Thoughtful acts, like providing a braille menu, can create a profound and meaningful impact, enriching someone’s life with inclusivity, dignity, and empowerment.

There are many ways all of us can contribute to the lives of those that rely on braille.

To discover how you can foster inclusivity and make a difference by incorporating braille into your services and events please feel free to reach out to us 07 3848 5257 or via email: coordinator@qbwa.org.au
