Today is a very special day for Dennis,
he is going to the first grade. The only difference between him and his peers
is that Dennis is using hearing aids. Besides that, he is just as active and as
curious as his classmates. Thanks to our project, following rehabilitation, 120
children with cochlear implants and hearing aids joined the first grade at
regular schools instead of enrolling into learning centers for children with
disabilities.
Little Pavel from Severodonetsk received
his implants when he was 11 months old. He went through rehabilitation at our
“Dachny” camp at the age of 3, and completed 2 rehabilitation on-line sessions.
This work made it possible for him to go to the first grade this September.
We have many more similar stories that
inspire us and give us the drive to continue supporting children experiencing
hearing issues through rehabilitation and training. I hope our sponsors
feel the same way.
Currently our Fund is preparing for our
next online training session, as 60 more children with hearing issues from all
over Ukraine are waiting their turn to go through rehabilitation. In October we
plan to conduct 2 more online sessions.
We want to thank you, our current and
new sponsors, for your donations and your support for our cause.
Sincerely,
Project Manager,
Larysa Kuzmenko
