Braille:books etc

[scavenger]

Hi, I am going blind so I need to learn Braille and find reading material in English or French, or Spanish (poetry, literature, science). Also, I will need to get a Braille keyboard for my PC, and a printer and paper. Does anyone here know where such materials can be found in Thailand (or In Yangon)? Thanks in advance.
