Estimado amigo (a)
Si, tú estás inspirando esperanza y creando un cambio en la vida de las personas con síndrome de Down, como donante de nuestro proyecto “Discapacidad intelectual: derribando Mitos en Colombia”. Entendemos que los cambios llevan tempo y no siempre son fáciles de percibir; sinembargo paso a paso estamos eliminando mitos y generando una visión positiva acerca de las personas con discapacidad intelectual.
Durante el mes de marzo conmemoramos el Día Mundial del Síndrome de Down y nuestra agenda estuvo cargada de actividades de concientización. Nos tomamos centros comerciales y restaurantes con nuestra campaña de mitos; realizamos la conferencia “Inteligencias múltiples y discapacidad” para padres y un conversatorio sobre la situación actual y los retos de la inclusión de las personas con discapacidad.
Llevamos a cabo también como parte de nuestra agenda, una exhibition de arte espectacular, así como una función de cine para nuestros afiliados; y en el mes de mayo hicimos un seminario para maestros. Todo gracias a ti.
Necesitamos seguir guando familias y formando maestros, y sólo podemos hacerlos si continuas acompañándonos, mantente atento a nuevas noticias y no olvides contarle a tus familiares y amigos acerca de la oportunidad de ser parte del cambio en la vida de las personas con síndrome de Down y discapacidad cognitiva, al apoyar nuestro proyecto.
Un fuerte abrazo.

Dear friend
Yes, you are inspiring hope and creating change in people with Down syndrome life as supporters of our Intellectual disability: Busting Myths in Colombia project. We understand change takes time and it’s not always easy to see. However, step by step we are falling down barriers and myths and raising a positive vision of person with intellectual disability.
Last March we commemorated World Down Syndrome Day and our agenda was full of awareness activities. We took malls and restaurants with our myths campaign, the conference “Multiples intelligences and disability” for parents and a forum about the actual situation and challenges for inclusion of People with disabilities were performed. A great art exhibition was also part of our agenda as well as a movie function for our affiliates; and in May we organized a teacher´s seminar. All thanks to you.
We need to continue guiding families and training teachers, and we can only do that if you continue to accompany us, please check back for updates and continue telling friends and families about the opportunity to make a change in the lives of people with Down syndrome and intellectual disability supporting this project.
With warm regards.
