Giving Kids a Smile Like Yours In Colombia

Dear Sponsors,

With donations received during this period (September-December 2014), 4 children continued their integral treatment for two more months. Juan continued to attend speech therapy sessions showing a very good improvement in his language skills; actually he is a good conversationalist, well integrated to his socialization activities and without pronunciation difficulties. Laura has also attended to her speech therapy sessions to improve her articulation and psychology therapy because she is experiencing some integration problems at school due to teasing by their classmates for which strengthening of her self-esteem is necessary and preparing her for handling this situation; she continues with her dentistry treatment. Neitan initiated treatment with dental orthopedic appliances in order to prepare him for the next nose surgery, for which he needs a “nasal shaper”. Juan D is becoming familiar with a new environment because, together with his family, moved to another town. This type of changes is difficult for them to handle, therefore psychology therapies are very important at this time, for his adaptation. Additional to this, he has had some inconveniences with his dental appliances and various repairs have been necessary, which have interfered with his treatment´s normal course.

Fisulab celebrated 2014 year end with their children, which was possible thanks to several benefactors´ donations, which allowed us to offer some refreshments, gifts, recreation and have an integration journey together with their families.

Enclosed you will find a PDF report with a general report of activities carried out by Fisulab during 2014.
