HATO MAYOR. We once again joined forces with the French foundation Audition Solidarité to carry out our twelfth operation for the benefit of hearing impaired children. This project helps eight schools in the eastern part of the country and Santo Domingo.
During the week of April 28 to May 4, 2023, at the Meeting God in Mission Foundation facilities in Hato Mayor, a team of 16 hearing professionals worked in collaboration with 7 Dominicans to provide care to 193 infants who belong to the “Breaking the Barriers of Disability” program, which has been carried out since 2019 and to date has managed to impact the lives of 402 children and their families.
“The operation, besides being a success because we achieved the expected results, is one of the most significant for the team of Oír Para Vivir, because it allowed us to look back and see much of what we have achieved. We were thrilled to share with the children we helped and to see the great progress they have made since they joined our program,” said Nathanael Le Herisse, president of the Fundación Oír Para Vivir.
Le Herisse added that working once again with the 16 volunteers of Audition Solidarité was a great experience, because together with them they form a very good team and they always have the opportunity to learn from their knowledge on hearing impairment.
“It is incredible that we are living this stage, we have reached the 12th operation and after seven years of long work it is very significant for us, because it represents the sustainability of our project and the immense possibility of continuing to help, which is what we seek, in order to break the barriers of hearing impairment in the Dominican Republic,” said Evelyna Rodriguez, ambassador of the foundation.
On this occasion, the operation was also supported by Carrefour, IBC Shipyard, MGM (Meeting God in Mission), AFD (Agence française de développement) and Mr. Sergio and Mrs. Corinne Gobbi.
