Mission Accomplished. Thank you! / Mision Cumplida. Gracias!

Dear friends:

Today I want to share with you our joy and gratitude. With the donation each one of you made, we have accomplished the proposed financial goal and the activities that were planned for our project “Rethinking Down Syndrome in Colombia”.

The resources obtained from you since 2012, have allowed us to execute 210 awareness workshops in 100 schools in Barranquilla, reaching 5.114 students with a message of acceptance for diversity. 400 parents and 600 teachers had access to the training sessions we organized and we reached 100.000 persons through campaigns we developed in malls, universities and public spaces in general.

We can proudly say that we have begun to transform the vision people have about persons with Down syndrome and their opportunities for a better life in our region.

This has been a great start, that without you would not have been possible. The means to achieve a true and complete inclusion is still ongoing; therefore, we are working on the design of a new awareness project that we will let you know soon, hoping that you will continue supporting our work.

 In my name and of all Fundown Caribe team, please receive our most heartfelt thanks.

 Claudia Ritzel
