Born blind, Nazim religiously visits the only braille book stall at the fair that runs on a very different philosophy. Sporsho Braille Prokashona, established in 2009, lets people come and read all day and offers books for free to the blind. When people come to their stall seeking information about braille books, they request the visually impaired people to register with them. Nazia began working on a braille book, “Chharar Tale Monta Dole,” in 2009. When her book was published and released at the Ekushey Book Fair, she realised the demand for braille books was astounding, and that there was a desperate need for a full-fledged braille publishing house.
