English version below

 Al llegar al final de cada año es imposible no mirar atrás para reflexionar sobre el trabajo realizado y el impacto alcanzado. Sin lugar a dudas el 2017 ha sido un año maravilloso,  lleno de nuevas experiencias  y logros y aunque sabemos que aún nos falta mucho camino por recorrer para  lograr una inclusión real de las personas con discapacidad intelectual, nos sentimos orgullosos por la contribución que estamos haciendo, gracias a quienes apoyan esta causa.

25.000 niños y 550 jóvenes de se han beneficiado de los talleres que con el programa no hay2iguales,  se realizaron a lo largo del año en 115 instituciones educativas públicas y privadas de las ciudades de Barranquilla y Santa Marta.

En este trimestre  realizamos  encuentros en las localidades y jornadas de formación para seguir fortaleciendo a las familias para afrontar sus retos personales y corresponsabilidad  en el proceso de inclusión de las personas con discapacidad.Continuamos con talleres de cualificación de agentes de primera infancia,  completando así 160 profesionales de esta área formados durante el año y seguimos llegando a universidades y diversos espacios para concientizar sobres los mitos

En  FUNDOWN CARIBE sabemos que aunque es un momento difícil para recaudar dinero, las personas que valoran la diversidad y se preocupan por la inclusión continuarán esforzándose para apoyar esta causa e invitar a otros a que nos acompañen también. Muchas gracias por seguir acompañándonos.

English version

At the end of each year it is impossible not to look back to reflect on the work done and the impact achieved. Undoubtedly 2017 has been a wonderful year, full of new experiences and achievements and although we know that we still have a long way to go to achieve a real inclusion of people with intellectual disabilities, we are proud of the contribution we are making , thanks to those who support this cause.

25,000 children and 550 young people have benefited from “No 2 are alike” strategy  workshops that were held throughout the year in 115 public and private schools in the cities of Barranquilla and Santa Marta.

In this quarter we held meetings in the localities and training days to continue strengthening families to face their personal challenges and co-responsibility in the process of inclusion of people with disabilities.We developed qualification workshops for early childhood agents, completing 160 professionals from this area trained during the year and we continue working in universities and various spaces to raise awareness about the myths.

 FUNDOWN CARIBBEAN  know that although it is a difficult time to raise money, people who value diversity and care about inclusion will continue to make efforts to support this cause and invite others to join us as well. Thank you very much for continuing to accompany us.
