Special Thanks
As always, we have a big thanks that should be said to all those people behind the success of this project, to all those blind and visually impaired who gave their trust in the project and helped to make it better and better! I would like to give special thanks to the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology of Palestine, and the initiative of WSA-Palestine for their efforts and support. The thanks don’t stop there, don’t forget the “Special Thanks” page for those who talked about or supported the project!
Updates: Unfortunately, I couldn’t make it to attend the big ceremony on 21-11-2016 in Kuwait country because of the siege that was forced around Gaza and closed borders, but the Palestinian embassy represented me and Palestine with the award by the ambassador himself!
The Palestinian embassy was represented by ambassador Rami Tahboub (the second one from the right) in the ceremony representing Palestine and Swift Braille project.
