COURTESY VISIT ADDRESS BY RIFTB ON IGWE NDI-IGBO OF JOS, HRH, PROF. JOSEPH OBILOM, MAY, 2021: COURTESY VISIT ADDRESS: We are deeply excited at this rare golden opportunity granted us by you Sir, to pay you a courtesy visit aimed at introducing ourselves and our Non-governmental organization, Redemption International For The Blind to you. Thanks a million for this opportunity, and we do not take it for granted Sir. We are a charity registered both in Portugal and in Nigeria to help fight against global book famine which has greatly inhibited the education of the Blind and the Visually Impaired worldwide. Most of us who go to school begin and graduate from school without reading a single textbook in accessible format. This has meant general low academic performance for most Blind people. This is indeed what we seek to rectify, to ensure that published textbooks are converted into accessible formats for the Blind and the Visually Impaired, either in braille, audio or electronic, so we can easily access, on an equal basis with other members of the society, in real time, knowledge and information as buried in published works, for enhanced sound and quality education. The truth is that most of these facilities needed to achieve this project are highly capital intensive, which we cannot on our own afford to purchase without external support from such philanthropists and lovers of humanity and education like you; hence, this courtesy visit to appeal to you Sir for your generous financial support towards the practical realization of our project. Though humanity is now terribly broken, and so many of us no longer know what it means to show love to the less privileged ones in our society, we are here today to appeal to your conscience to please kindly use your good offices to help drive our good vision forward. We desperately need your kind support Sir. On the 15th day of May, 2021, we held an event at Crest Hotel, to help fundraise for the establishment of an automated Braille Press and online digital library for the Blind here in Jos, Plateau State. Sir, We recognize your tight schedule was partly responsible for your absence at our event. Notwithstanding, our needs are numerous as highlighted in the booklet we’ve just presented to you. The Embosser we crave for alone costs over 65 million, among other pressing needs. We will appreciate your kind intervention in whichever way possible Sir. We count on your support please! Thank you Sir for the audience! Sunny Ezurike, President, Redemption International For The Blind. E-mail: riftb.riftb@gmail.com Tel: +351934799647 +2348067038881. W: https://riftb.org
