FUNDACION OIR ES VIVIR

 

ACHIEVEMENTS BEFORE ENDING 2018

 

"Tony Fergo’s Awards"

 

Two of our educational campaigns, Fundación Oír es Vivir were awarded!! The delivery was made within the framework of the Recognition of Remarkable Citizens 2018 event of the National Commission for Civic and Moral Values.

 

Winning 2 of 4 awards is an honor and reaffirms the need to work with passion for a better world. Each of us contributing and being part of the changes we want to see in the world.

 

Award for the best Digital Campaign with # Solo1Minuto de Silencio and Prize for the best Printed Campaign with our educational story Knowing Lorenzo!

 

With the program "APRENDO ESCUCHANDO” (I learn by listening)

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.        

KNIGHTSBRIDGE INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL PANAMA

KNIGHTSBRIDGE INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL PANAMA at Panamá Pacífico, conducting auditory tests for its students.

Ensuring that children are hearing well is important for their school performance and development of other psychomotor and social skills.

LIONS CLUBS NATIONAL ASSOCIATION 

We assist LIONS CLUBS NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, in their tour conducted at the Ricardo J. Alfaro School at Tocumen community. Our collaboration was with the attention of around 140 children between 5 and 12 years old performing collective audiometry

 SERVING OTHER FOUNDATIONS IS ALSO PART OF WHAT WE DO.

We offered free hearing tests - collective audiometries and hearing screening for more than 50 children and young people from the SOS Children's Villages. In this way we contribute to a better Panama for all.Thanks!!!!!!

 

We thank EMPRESAS MELO who on October 12, 2018 gave tribute to Panamanian talent and energy, recognizing the work and dedication of 10 Panamanian altruists among those who told FUNDACION OIR ES VIVIR.

 

Distinguishes us with this significant trophy for our work in favor of early detection of hearing loss and our management to support those who suffer from them by offering solutions that allow them to lead a full and productive life.

 

 

            

 

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!
