In 2015, 20 visually impaired people participated in the project "Training The Visually Impaired To Write Books", organised by the Book Studies Foundation, the Department of Cultural Promotion, Ratchadamnoen Contemporary Art Center and Butterfly Book. The project aimed to improve visually impaired people's writing skills and let them figure out their own writing styles. When the visually impaired author, Sarocha Kittisiripan, participated in the project, she discovered many talented visually impaired writers and that inspired her to establish Butterfly Book For People With Disabilities.
"During the project, visually impaired participants met with speakers eight to nine times, but it took several months to complete the workshop. A speaker and co-founder of Butterfly Book, Makut Onrudee, emphasised that visually impaired writers do not have to write in the same way as non-visually impaired writers. Visually impaired writers can write from their own viewpoints and experiences. The project allowed participants to write freely," said Sarocha.
