Pamela Robinson, founder, 40+ Double Dutch Club:
“It takes you back to childhood. Back to a time when there’s no stress, no bills, no issues when you’re a kid jumping rope. So many times, when you reach 40, you are so busy taking care of everybody else — your kids, your husband, your parents — that you don’t take time to take care of yourself. So all of these women now are being intentional about self-care.”

Bringing Braille Fun Home: LEGO® Braille Bricks on Sale for the First Time
Martine Abel-Williamson, President, World Blind Union commented for LEGO®:
For blind and partially sighted children, and adults for that matter, it makes all the difference if they can share their journey of learning braille with the people they love the most. For the blind community, braille is not just literacy, it’s our entry to independence and inclusion into this world, and to have LEGO Braille Bricks made available for the wider public is a massive step forward to ensuring more children will want to learn braille in the first place.
