This campaign will take place from March to early May in Latvia when everyone can support a purchase of special educational materials for blind children.
During the campaign, people can buy any of TRICO windshield wipers and donate EUR 0.15 for the purchase of special braille typewriters to Strazdumuiža Residental Secondary School and Training Center for the Blind and Visually impaired, the only educational establishment for children and young adults with severe visual impairments that guarantee study process for their individual needs.
Member of the board of SIA Getz Bros. & Co Latvia Simons Kozlinskis explains the meaning of the social campaign. "It is well known that drivers are required to pass an eyesight test but to see clearly is not the same as to see more around you – notice people around you. This isn't the Christmas Time, and this isn't another campaign to boost trade, but rather a direction or a chance for those who wants to see more around them and help people with visual impairments, at least a little bit."

A braille typewriter is mechanical or electrical device that can be used individually by blind person in the educational process or his free time. A blind person can take necessary notes, comments, and perform other written assignments independently, at high-quality, fast, and easy. A blind person can use a braille typewriter after learning multiple braille characters and layout of typewriter keys (6 in total). A braille typewriter is very necessary for education and personality development of a blind person. This provides an opportunity to fulfil and express yourself in a wide range of sciences and arts, as well as, to learn new technology and live a normal life with these specific needs.
During the campaign from March 1 to May 10, you can buy TRICO windshield wipers in Statoil, K-Rauta, Prisma and other trading venues in Latvia, as well as in the online shop www.pitstore.lv
