SAN JOSE DE MALAMBO ORPHANAGE

We are happy to have taken free hearing screening tests to the children of the San José de Malambo Orphanage. The care was provided to 30 children between newborns and 4 years old. We take advantage of our visit to give them our educational story Knowing Lorenzo

In this way we ensure that detecting a hearing loss early we can treat it to give the child the best chance to develop their language on time.

 ABC n ME SCHOOL

The ABC n Me School every year show us their support by granting us a donation product of their “Bake Sale”.  Infinite thanks for seeing value in our work and supporting it. The delivery was made by the school director: Marianela Pitty and received by Aminta Miranda, member of the board of directors of the foundation and Gabriela Mejía administrative director.

This donation allows us to continue taking Auditory Screening tests for public school children who also need the test.

FIRST START CENTER

Thanks to the First Start Center for trust placed in order to be able to perform the hearing and language tests for their students.

Why is it important to do it? Because at first sight neither parents nor teachers can know if a child hears well.

UPDATE SEMINAR

SEMINAR DICTATED BY LICDA. ANALIDA PITTY, with the topic: “Disorders of the Central Auditory Processes”

This teaching was very interesting because it brings new knowledge and nourishes us with questions in some patients whose lives are affected by this type of pathologies.

The most rewarding work is that which is done with love!
