Bring a smile to JCTBA
The Jacques Cantin Talking Books Association (JCTBA) provides blind and visually impaired people across the country access to books in audio format. More than a hundred subscribers benefit from the free service offered by the JCTBA.
The association encourages people with visual difficulties to use their hearing sense and thus helps their development and integration in the society.
The quality of the recording of texts being essential, the organization assists and monitors very closely the training of its story tellers, called 'Donneurs de Voix', in order to give blind and visually impaired people quality audio books. It is, however, entirely dependent on the ‘Donneurs de Voix’ to ensure that the text is recorded in good conditions and in an appropriate location. The association offers free access to a recording booth if necessary.
The library remains open weekdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to noon. It also offers Listening Classes to school children.
In the long term, the Jacques Cantin Talking Books Association (JCTBA) encourages the participation of other people interested in lending their voice as 'Donneurs de Voix' and to extend its service to old age persons throughout the island, with visual difficulties.
Since the non-profit Association does not generate any funds, we rely on the financial support of volunteers to carry out our work and ensure the salary of a permanent Administrative Secretary.
In essence, JCTBA plays a crucial role in promoting social integration by providing access to information, fostering educational opportunities, facilitating community engagement, promoting independence, enriching cultural experiences, advocating for accessibility, leveraging technology, and nurturing support networks among the blind and partially sighted population.
Bless are those who can see and make life easier for others...
