Thanks to the donation granted in the project “Support people with Down syndrome in this pandemic”, in the period of April 8th to August 3 th, educational care in distance was provided for 8 students (special primary education). As well, 3 psychological sessions were also provided to parents and students. We are very happy to share with you that finally all our groups returned to face-to-face classes, and also we continue giving classes online to all the students that can´t assist. We deeply appreciate your support, which will allow us to continue developing our mission, which is to "promote dignity, human rights, and potential of people with Down syndrome, improving their quality of life".
The John Langdon Down Foundation, in collaboration with Starbucks Mexico, carried out an inclusive project to promote and sensitize society through art, for this reason, 4 artists from the Mexican School of Down Art, created a mural in a Coffee shop south of Mexico City.
This work of art, inspired by the path that coffee engraves, from the seed and hands they grow to the plant that transforms into a perfect cup of coffee, is a reflection of the close collaboration between Starbucks Mexico and the John Langdon Foundation Down.
Paco is one of the artists who collaborated in the development of this mural. "I loved the experience because it helped me get my feelings out, which I now share through this imural."
Thanks to the donation granted in July 2019, twenty students of the John Langdon Down Foundation could benefit.
Classes were taught to stimulate psychomotor development, reading, writing, mathematics, knowledge of the environment, and personal independence.
The Medical Department monitored students through individual appointments and the Psychology Department provided professional guidance and emotional support to family members, and students who had emotional disturbances or problem behaviors were followed up.
Transportation service was provided in the mornings and afternoons and also provided lunch service.
Rodrigo and Carlos, two artists from the Mexican School of Down Art, were also supported to continue their artistic development and encourage the development of abstract thinking to promote expression and communication.
Thanks to people like you, who have great human values, generosity and altruism, we can continue to develop our programs to benefit a greater number of children born with this genetic alteration.
We deeply appreciate your support, which will allow us to continue developing our mission, which is to "promote dignity, human rights, and potential of people with Down syndrome, improving their quality of life".
