Since our last update we have provided the project funding for Sociedad Peruana de Sindrome Down (SPSD) in Peru and they have made excellent progress in implementing the project. We are in regular contact with them and have received very positive feedback about the positive impact of the project.
So far SPSD has held meetings with over 40 families of young children with Down syndrome, and there is one more meeting planned. So the project will benefit even more families than the original goal. The feedback from each meeting has been overwhelmingly positive; families have enjoyed meeting adults with Down syndrome and other families, and have gained lots of information from early development practitioners.
The production of the information kits for new parents is almost complete and these will be distributed to local hospitals and medical centres soon.
Thank you again for your generous donation, which is making a huge positive difference to the lives of young children with Down syndrome and their families in Peru. We will continue to update you on the progress of the project and also its longer term impact, which will be assessed by SPSD with our support.
