Santa's letters in Braille

Mon, 07/23/2012 - 12:19 -- admin

All children should experience the thrill of receiving a response from Santa Claus and that’s the intention of the programme. T-Base Communications (Canada) is assisting Canada Post's annual Santa letter-writing programme by providing response letters in Braille to blind and partially sighted children from around the world.

It is the fourth consecutive year the company has helped with the programme, offering the service to Canada Post at no charge. The company replies to children's wish lists in Braille on a daily basis.

The Canada Post program has been running for 24 years. It receives more than one million letters to Santa each year and responds in more than 20 languages. The number of letters to Santa in Braille increases annually, according to T-Base Communications.

T-Base specialises in Braille along with large print and audio communication formats, which allow companies to communicate with customers who cannot access information in conventional print.
