The Ministry of Culture (MiCultura) through the Office of Equal Opportunities (OEO) jointly with the Blind Light Board, delivered three copies of menus in Braille system to the Inicio Museo del Reggae restaurant in Spanish at 13th Street at Casco Antiguo.

The gastronomic and cultural place adds to the restaurants Taberne 21 and Napoli de Obarrio that already have menus printed in Braille system for people with visual disabilities.

"The Braille system letter aims to make it easier for people with visual disabilities to get to know first-hand the gastronomic offer and to promote equal opportunities by developing a social activity such as attending a restaurant and applying for their favorite plate," stated Jorge Morales, Director of Equal Opportunities at MiCultura.

It should be noted that the restaurant's employees received prior training with information about the types of disabilities and how a person with disabilities should be cared for within the place and how they should be treated.

Morales called on other restaurants and businesses at large to join this initiative and to support the cultural accessibility program.

The musician Isaac Diaz, a member of the Blind's light patronate, was part of cultural activity performing the musical piece entitled "Gift of the Heart."

The new issue was attended by the Vice Minister of Culture, Gabriel González, the representative of the Ornance's Ornament Luz, Melissa Hernández, the owner of the restaurant, Raúl Álvarez, and the director of the Office of Equal Opportunities, Jorge Morales and the regional director of Colón, Ruddy Rodriguez, who attended the event with a group of people with visual disabilities from Colón, who were able to get to know the museum and get to know more about the reggae's history in Panama.
