Hola amigos

Nos encanta poder llegar de nuevo hasta ustedes para compartir como ha sido nuestro inicio de año, y las actividades y expectativas que tenemos.

Ya dimos inicio a nuestro trabajo en este año con el lanzamiento de la campaña "Buena esa" con la cual estamos haciendo concientización en el sistema de transporte Transmetro. Imágenes ubicadas en las estaciones de buses dan las gracias a los pasajeros por su buen comportamiento y solidaridad con las personas con discapacidad y les recuerda que la accesibilidad es un derecho de todos.

Adicionalmente organizamos un foro en el cual participaron diversas entidades del sector social y como invitados especiales representantes del sistema de transporte de la ciudad quienes escucharon las inquietudes y necesidades de la población con discapacidad para un buen uso del transporte. Con un taller de capacitación apoyamos a los maestros para el inicio del año escolar y llevamos a cabo nuestra primera sesión grupal de atención temprana y un taller de arte espectacular con ocasión del carnaval.

Nos preparamos para la conmemoración del día mundial del síndrome de Down en marzo 21 y pronto daremos inicio también a una tercera etapa del proyecto No hay 2 iguales, esta vez con 50 colegios oficiales de la ciudad de Barranquilla.

En nuestro próximo informe estaremos contándoles los resultados de todas estas actividades que llevaremos a cabo. Gracias por permitirnos seguir contando con su apoyo para el cumplimiento de esta misión.

 Muchas gracias!!

 ENGLISH VERSION

Hello friends

We are delighted to be able to come back to you to share what our new year has been like, and the activities and expectations we have.

We already started our work this year with the launch of the campaign "Good that" with which we are making awareness in the transport system Transmetro. Images located in the bus stations give thanks to the passengers for their good behavior and solidarity with people with disabilities and reminds them that accessibility is a right of all.

In addition, we organized a forum in which various social sector organizations participated and as special guests representatives of the city's transportation system who listened to the concerns and needs of the population with disabilities for a good use of transportation. With a training workshop we supported the teachers for the beginning of the school year and held our first group session of early attention and spectacular art workshop on the occasion of the carnival.

We are preparing for the commemoration of the World Down Syndrome Day on March 21 and soon we will also start a third stage of the No 2 Equal Project, this time with 50 official schools in the city of Barranquilla.

In our next report we will be telling you the results of all these activities that we will carry out. Thanks for allowing us to continue counting on you to fulfill this mission.

Thank you so much!
