Muchas cosas geniales han pasado desde el último reporte. Con el grupo de autogestores tuvimos una tarde de cocina fantástica con el apoyo del chef Alex Quessep e hicimos parte de algunos eventos en la ciudad con ocasión de la conmemoración del mes de la juventud.
Mes a mes seguimos acompañando a las familias de nuestros afiliados más pequeños; en julio nos reunimos para conversar sobre sexualidad y en agosto lo hicimos sobre derechos.
Para ayudar en la implementación del programa de Salud para personas con síndrome de Down, capacitamos 300 promotores de salud de la ciudad y continuamos capacitando otros profesionales del cuerpo médico.
En julio 1 dimos comienzo al programa No Hay 2 Iguales en 60 colegios de la ciudad en alianza con la Secretaria de Educación Distrital; la meta era formar a 300 jóvenes como promotores de inclusión. Nuestra meta se cumplió y ahora tenemos un gran grupo de jóvenes líderes que están realizando talleres en los colegios para enseñar a 10.000 niños acerca de la inclusión.
Es muy satisfactorio para nosotros ver el entusiasmo con el que los talleres son recibidos en los colegios de la región y esperamos poder ser multiplicando esta iniciativa.
Por eso queremos invitarte hoy a manifestar tu esfuerzo 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!

ENGLISH VERSION
Many great things have happened since our last report. A cooking afternoon with some of our affiliates with the support of famous chef Alex Quessep and our participation in some city events during the month of youth are only a couple examples.
Every month we keep accompanying the families of our smaller affiliates; in July we worked around the topic of sexuality and in August we focused on rights. To help implement the program of health for people with Down syndrome, we trained 300 health promoters and still continue training other professionals.
On July 1 we began with our "No 2 are alike" project, in alliance with the district secretariat campaign. The goal was to train 300 students from 60 schools as inclusion promoters. Our mission was accomplished, and now we have a great group of youth leaders performing workshops at schools to teach 10.000 little kids about this important topic. It is very satisfying for us to see the enthusiasm with which the workshops have been received in the schools of the region and we hope to continue multiplying this initiative.
This is why 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 -this will 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 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!
