FUNDACION OIR ES VIVIR … DOING GREAT!!!!
Hearing is vital for language development and good performance in school.
It is important to ensure that in early years of life and schooling, children’s social and cognitive development is not impaired by undetected hearing loss or temporary issues such as earwax or objects in the ear canal.
On the day of Good Deeds we held our first hearing health event of 2019, performing hearing screenings for children and employees of MELO & CO.

INTERNATIONAL NOISE AWARENESS DAY
This year we’re celebrating International Noise Awareness Day in a different way. We’ve challenged schools to take a group photo and share it via our social networks. Many schools participated, with the Brader School of Panama winning the challenge.
