[Conntech] Braille machine

[Joan Temple]

Hi All,
 
Does anyone know how I might go about finding a Braille machine that might be donated to an orphanage in Oaxaca, Mexico?  Our school has become very
involved with a non-profit organization there called Simply Smiles, which focuses on impoverished children with special needs.  Recently, several of
our students traveled to Oaxaca to volunteer in various service activities and to spend time with the children.  One of the concerns they expressed upon
their return was that the three blind children in residence do not have access to books for the blind.  The Spanish teacher was so impressed with the
organization that he has decided to return in August.  One of his goals is to bring a Braille machine (he knows how to use it) with him.  He is
hoping to find one at a reasonable cost or for free.  Any ideas?
