#HearMexico: This week a team of 5 Sonova volunteers is supporting our partner Centro Oaxaqueño de Rehabilitacion de Audicion y Lenguaje (Coral Oaxaca in Oaxaca, Mexico.
CORAL aims to improve the lives of children with hearing loss (0-6 years) from low-income families in suburban and indigenous communities in the state of Oaxaca. They identify and treat hearing loss at an early stage, with the goal to improve children’s communication skills and promote inclusive education.
Our targets this week are:
• screen 20-30 children in indigenous and suburban communities in the state of Oaxaca
• fit 9 children identified with hearing loss with new Phonak Schweiz hearing aids
• promote local capacity building in the area of audiological care
• consult in website design and social media communication for CORAL
Thank you Eva Lopez AB, Ira Pi, Cecilia ZP, Lidia Zabala and Mehmet Yildirim for your support!
Are you curious to see the results? Stay tuned for more updates from this interesting project visit.
