Braille Books for Costa Rican Libraries

Over 20 Costa Rican personalities are coming together for a great cause, to provide 25,000 library books in braille to distribute to public libraries throughout the country.

Part of the project Puntos de Luz is a concert to be held this Thursday at the Melico Salazar Popular Theater. Singers, actors and athletes will show off their talents. Among them will be Pedro Capmany, Elena Zúñiga and Adrián Goizueta, the Paraíso Symphony Orchestra, the Youthful Parade Choir of Paradise, actors Mauricio Meléndez, Leynar Gómez, Eloy Mora and Gustavo Rojas, writer Óscar Castro and the boxer Hanna Gabriels. There will also be journalists and an interpreter. Proceeds will go to the TSIÖ Association to print the books.

This concert is only part of the comprehensive project for this beautiful cause. All of Costa Rica can take part in the creation of this reading alternative for people with blindness.

Tickets for this show range from ¢7,000 to ¢18,000 and are on sale through the website boleteria.cr.
