Project Report | Mar 26, 2026
Una jornada llena de descubrimientos y sonrisas

By Mariana Bohorquez Uribe | Comunicadora Oyeme

A day full of discovery and smiles

We started the year with a very special visit to San Juan village, a place full of life and hope. There, we met 25 wonderful children, each with their own story and dreams. Thanks to our partnership with Rotary Medellín El Poblado, we were able to bring hearing health services closer to this community and ensure that every child received the care they deserve.

Hearing is a gift

During this visit, we conducted hearing screenings for all the children, and we were happy to see that each one had successful results. But the experience went beyond hearing care: psychologists, neurologists, pediatricians, and ophthalmologists joined the day, providing comprehensive health support and guidance for both children and their families.

Every gesture matters

Watching the children explore, listen, and smile reminded us why we do this work. Every screening, every piece of advice, and every encouraging word becomes a seed that helps children grow and opens new opportunities for them and their families.

Because of you

None of this would be possible without the support of our GlobalGiving donors. Every contribution allows Óyeme to reach communities like San Juan, bringing health, care, and hope. Thank you for being part of this story and for helping us continue changing lives, one smile at a time.

What’s next

We are excited about the upcoming outreach visits: more children, more families, and more opportunities to hear, learn, and grow together. Your continued support is essential to ensure that every child has access to a life full of communication, inclusion, and joy.
