Maintenance section
Blind people in Palestine used to print their books on a pierced metal board
by putting the paper beneath the board then they start typing the letters by
using a special nail. This highlights that this process is so difficult and
inefficient besides the fact that it consumes time and effort.
The Association can't afford the expenses
of buying the American Brielle Berkinz manual printer which was produced long
ago. Due the lack of the financial sources the Association can't purchase such a
machine.
The number of devices is increased, but due the
lack of maintenance centers and professional technicians in the West Bank forces
the Association to send the damaged devices to other places such as Telaviv
which in return the fixing process cost is high, besides the delay in delivering
the devices. The reasons mentioned above force the Association to appoint
unprofessional technicians that leads to damaging the devices or keeping them on
hold waiting for fixing or updating.
In 1997 the Association established the
first maintenance center it also hires very qualified technician for the fixing
purposes. In 2003 the Islamic Bank for Development supply the association with
the essential and spare, substitute devices for the fixing purposes these
devices are imported from the major production factory of the printers used in
the school.
The association is considered as the
pioneer in Palestine that establishes such a center it supports, and fixes
devices for other schools or association for free. It charges only for the spare
device. The association offers free services for the printing books for other
associations. |
