MSC Teacher Bulletin
Spanish Teacher Guide Now Available in Braille / Disponible la Primera Guia del Profesor en Braille
English:
For the very first time the MSC Teacher’s Guide is available in Braille-Spanish for those teachers who are blind. Thanks to the initiative of Mariela de la Fuente, first certified teacher of the MSC in Argentina who has organized the first Teacher Training in Latin America, and Ana Clara Fernández.
The idea arose when Dr. Mónica Santagata, a visually impaired medical doctor in Argentina, enrolled in the MSC Teacher Training and we thought about how we could provide the TG so that she could use it. It was when Mariela contacted Ana Clara (formed in the Braille system and founder and editor of the magazine Colors, free and printed completely in Braille system since 2004) and she has translated the Spanish version of the TG into Braille in record time and for free as a donation to the Center for MSC. And as a curiosity, The Spanish Braille MSC TG occupies 9 volumes of perforated paper!
Ana Clara comments that the fact of translating the text has meant for her a true internal transformation. And for us it has been exciting to live the experience of giving it to Monica who was touched by all that work. Once again, inclusion and respect for diversity are the hallmarks of MSC program and community. Thank you so much, Ana Clara, Mariela and Monica. Now more people can teach the MSC! And we really hope that this initiative can also be carried out in other languages.

Ana Clara comenta que el hecho de traducir el texto ha supuesto para ella una verdadera transformación interna. Y para nosotros ha sido emocionante vivir la experiencia de entregárselo a Mónica que se conmovió por todo el trabajo realizado. Una vez más, la inclusión y el respeto a la diversidad son las señas de identidad de nuestro programa. Gracias, Ana Clara, Mariela y Mónica. Ahora las personas invidentes pueden enseñar el MSC. Ojalá que también se pueda realizar esta iniciativa en otros idiomas.
