Dear Friends
We have some fantastic news to tell you as well as some updates about the things we are up to. We want to THANK YOU for supporting us. We started our activities in March with material arranged for the whole year, and in just three months everything has been distributed.
In malls, restaurants, universities, museums and workshops 5,000 booklets of the “It´s a myth and it´s not permitted “ campaign were deliver and with them many people learned about myths and truths of persons with cognitive disability.
We had the opportunity to work with families on computer training sessions, workshops for pedagogical support, focus groups and on the occasion of Mother's Day we had a celebration.
June 1 with our "No 2 are alike" campaign we reach our 2015 annual target of 5,000 students and 30 schools; It´s amazing seeing those little faces smiling and proudly displaying his self-portrait and building a paper chain to symbolically join their differences to recognize the value of diversity.
It is very satisfying for us the enthusiasm with which the workshops have been received in the schools of the region and we hope to continue multiplying this initiative to reach twice of the initial goal this year.
So we want to invite you today to express your personal fight against discrimination by 3 things:
1. Take a moment to give yourself a pat on the back for your contribution, you deserve it.
2. Enter and make a USD 20 donation - to allow 10 students to participate in a "No 2 are alike" workshop and receive the free activities booklet.
3. Invite 10 friends to follow you in this initiative by sharing our project "Intellectual Disability:Busting Myths In Colombia" ,on facebook twitter or Instagram Why don’t?
With your help, the best is yet to come!
Your actions today will perpetuate your legacy of generosity in the life of future generations.
Thanks!

Estimados amigos
Muchas cosas han pasado desde el último reporte. Iniciamos nuestras actividades en el mes marzo con material dispuesto para todo el año, y en tan sólo 3 meses todo ha sido utilizado.
En Centros Comerciales, restaurantes, universidades, museos y talleres distribuimos los 5.000 librillos de la campaña “Es un mito y no lo permito “que teníamos disponibles y con los cuales mucha gente aprendió sobre los mitos y verdades de las personas con discapacidad cognitiva.
Con las familias tuvimos la oportunidad de realizar jornadas de capacitación en computación, talleres de apoyo pedagógico, grupos focales y con ocasión del día de las madres hicimos una pequeña celebración.
En junio 1 con nuestro programa “No hay 2 iguales “ llegamos a la meta anual de 5.000 estudiantes y 30 colegios propuesta para todo el 2015; No hay nada comparable con ver esas caritas sonriendo y mostrando con orgullo su auto retrato y organizarse para armar una gran cadena de papel con la que simbólicamente unen sus diferencias para reconocer el valor de la diversidad.
Resulta muy satisfactorio para nosotros el entusiasmo con que los talleres han sido recibidos en los colegios de la región y esperamos poder seguir multiplicando esta iniciativa para alcanzar a llegar este año al doble de colegios y estudiantes de la meta inicial propuesta.
Por eso queremos invitarte hoy a manifestar tu lucha personal contra la discriminación haciendo 3 cosas:
Con tu ayuda lo mejor está por venir!
Tus acciones de hoy perpetuarán tu legado de generosidad en la vida de las generaciones futuras.
Muchas gracias!
