ICON Eye Hospital Limited installs braille wall tiles to commemorate International Day of Persons with Disabilities

December 03 marked the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, and to recognise this day, braille tiles were installed in Bosila's ICON Eye Hospital Limited by its Director, Riasat Zaman, in collaboration with Akij Ceramics as a step towards aiding the disabled.

"I believe that this day was perfect for installing the braille tiles as we wanted to create an atmosphere where visitors who are visually impaired would have an easier time navigating throughout our hospital," said Riasat Zaman. He also thanked Akij Ceramics and CarrotComm for such a great initiative.

CarrotComm Limited, in collaboration with Akij Ceramics, designed and produced braille wall tiles and launched it on International Mother Language Day this year. Through a campaign titled 'Let The Walls Be Language Friendly', Akij Ceramics and CarrotComm Limited worked to create tiles that would have braille messages imprinted on them. These tiles would be installed on the walls of institutions all over Bangladesh to speak the language of the blind people and help them navigate through their everyday activities with ease.
