Of course these developing countries are also at fault for selling these
braillers back to Maxi Aids. If they aren't going to use them for their
intended purpose, they shouldn't be buying them from Howe Press.
I will admit, however, that if I needed a new brailler and could get one
cheaper than the 600 or 700 dollars that Howe Press charges, I would, and I
wouldn't care what the business practices were of the place where I bought
it!

Howe Press is funded through a foundation to make a certain number of
braillers available to developing countries. They don't lose money doing
this as it is subsidized.
On the other hand, as blind Americans enjoy using their own brailler, blind
children in these developing countries have to share a single brailler and
if Maxi-Aids is acquiring these braillers for resale in America at a lower
cost to the consumer and a higher profit for their greedy pockets and using
deceptive means to acquire other contracts, I think it's Maxi-Aids that has
to have its business practices looked over and apparently it is.
Maxi-Aids has possibly taken braillers away from thousands of blind children
in developing countries all in the name of the mighty dollar. Hope it's
worth it to them when they are burning in hell.
