Friday morning, Palo Alto University Rotary heard from Karina Pikhart about her company 6dot and a device they engineered to help the blind access common objects.  6dot's original creation is a label maker that allows users to print labels in braille, using only six keys, associated with the six dots of the braille alphabet.  6dot has already manufactured and sold this label maker globally with a clear mission to touch more lives and create further innovations to support the vision impaired.  Ms. Pikhart and 6dot exemplify the importance of social entrepreneurship and the need for businesses to consider social needs in their approach.
