Cuban Magazine for The Blind Marks 16th Anniversary

Among the most interesting articles in this issue are one about schools
for the blind in Cuba, written by Marisabel Tamayo, president of the
History Commission of the island’s National Association for the Blind
(ANCI); another about the city of Baracoa, which was the first village
founded by the Spanish 500 years ago, and a third one about the cinema for
the blind; all of them written by visually impaired collaborators.

The publication features different sections that cover different aspects
of society with the purpose of providing those who lack the sense of the
sight with greater access to information and culture, according to the
director Jose Miguel Ramos.

Issued by ANCI, Faro is the only magazine of its type in Cuba; it targets
not only Cuban readers but also audiences outside the island. The
publication is mailed out for free to its subscribers.
