Restore Hearing to 100 Children in Panama

Month after month in our permanent effort to accomplish our projects we continue adding partners to our cause, now is the turn for UDELAS The University of las Americas, based in Panamá wich not only educates professionals to help in different handicaps but at the same time provides support and solutions together with our Fundation through several campaigns that we have organized within the year, this time we have signed a cooperation agreement to continue providing help, education and prevention to our childrens in need.

We have also received in our offices, our friends from the University of Southern California,  after reviewing our labor, they have offered their help and we signed a Cooperation Agreement in order to support in any way possible the daily efforts of Fundacion Oir es Vivir.

So Far we have helped more than 100 children to find its path to the solution to many hearing problems, not only with the direct donation of hearing devices but also making donation through Government offices and other entities,  this time we were at the Public School Omar Torrijos located in Paraiso, this is one of many of the public organizations, schools and different establishments that every month receive our visit and help.

We started the year  with many interesting moments, among them,  the wonderful opportunity to help more children and not so children during the last Special Olympics for Central America and the Caribbean.

Together with UDELAS (University of las Americas),  IPHE, Hospital del niño, and with the great contribution of the private sector through,  Claudie, Grupo Ortofono and Clinica Crespo we made almost  500 hearing screening  tests to most of the participants of the event during "the Health Day".

We have also continued our screenings sessions at diferent locations and institutions such as, King School, MOP Ministry of public developments, Arab School of libia.

At the same time we have been working on finally closing our offcial service agreement with the University of las Americas in order to start officially working and sharing facilities and human resources,  nevetheles we have been already working together unofficially for the past 4 months.

Also we participated on the International noise awarness day, by creating a local campaing adressed to institutions media and general public in ordere to maintain one minute of silence from 2.15pm to 2.16pm on last april 25th. Results were outstanding for the first year of campaing and the Center for hearing and comunications has already included Panama through our Foundation.

As things are going it seems that we will most probably  exceed the planned goal for this year.
