ONE MINUTE IN SILENCE CAMPAIGN
For the first time in the Foundation´s history we participated in this campaign virtually, since every year we had activities around the city to create awareness. During this year´s campaign, we received support from several local and international celebrities and personalities. With more than 1000 posts tagging the #solo1minuto, we were able to gather people located in different parts of our country and the world, to join this day for one minute of silence, in creating awareness regarding auditive conditions and how noise can affect every person.
#QuieroVerteSonreir-We want to see you smile
Our new campaign that started on May 2020 focuses on selling clear masks, ideally for hearing impaired people so they can continue reading lips. Nonetheless, people also miss being able to give smiles this is why we made it the main topic of our campaign related to smiles. Currently there are two ways people can help:
One is my making a donation for $10 or more, and we ship the mask to them directly.
The second is donating $10 for one of our sister foundations, Aldeas SOS in order to keep children safe and wearing face masks, or we send them to Hogar Bolívar, a nursing home for old people or handicapped people.
When people make the donation, they are able to specify what they want their donation
to go.
